NDSU at Northern State University – October 1, 2005

Thanks to scheduling conflicts, the Bison found themselves with only the minimum eleven players on the first leg of their longest road trip of the season. However, they were still able to squeak out a 3-2 victory over a determined Northern State team. The Bison dominated most of the play throughout the game, but they were unable to put the Wolves away for good due to poor shooting. The Bison peppered the NSU net with shots, but the majority of them were either off target or right at the goalkeeper. Northern State played the entire game with high intensity, going hard after every ball. Nathan Shubert scored his 7th goal of the season and Eric Stanley added two goals, bringing his team-leading total for the season to 11. Midfielder Dmitri Barabanov recorded two assists while Kellen Nesvig also tallied one assist. The victory upped the Bison’s record to 4-3-2 on the season while Northern State fell to 1-7.
