Carolyn DeHoff begins her first season as the Bison women's basketball head coach after successful stints at Weber State, Wyoming and most recently Utah.
North Dakota State has a pair of exhibition games, Monday, Nov. 3 against the University of Mary, and Thursday, Nov. 6, against Minnesota-Crookston. Both games begin at 7 p.m. in the Bison Sports Arena.
DeHoff, who replaces Women's Basketball Hall of Fame coach Amy Ruley, hasn't stopped moving since her feet touched down in Fargo last April.
North Dakota State returns six players including one starter from last season's 17-11 team that tied for second in The Summit League with a 12-6 record. The Bison regain the services of one player, and added a prep standout and a pair of transfers to the mix.
There was a new system to be learned, but DeHoff sensed an intrepid spirit has taken Bison women’s basketball by storm.
"With an eagerness to learn, the players have embraced the opportunity to contend in post season play," said DeHoff, who is entering first season as a head coach at the collegiate level.
"Each member of this year’s squad exemplifies a tenacious work ethic, allowing our staff to teach in an environment where each student-athlete can reach their full potential. As a team we are looking to improve each and every day."
North Dakota State graduated five seniors from last year's team including a trio of double-figure scorers. Lisa Bue (16.9 ppg, 7.5 rpg) was The Summit League Player of the Year and is playing professionally overseas with former Bison post player Brandee Gibbs.
