Story of the Game
After suffering a heartbreaking loss last weekend by one point in overtime, the MSU-Northern Skylights bounced back in a big way by defeating Dickinson State University 74-48.  With the win, senior guard Jacy Thompson joined the 1,000 point club with her nine points on the night (putting her at 1,001 career points).
