The University of Minnesota Duluth will have revenge on its mind as the Bulldogs take on Northern State University and Minnesota State University-Moorhead in Northern Sun Intercollegiate Conference action this weekend.

The Wolves and Dragons knocked off UMD (8-12, 6-10 NSIC) in Duluth just two weeks ago. "Both games were a bitter pill to swallow. We had leads each night with about four minutes to go and we let them slip away," said head coach

MSU-Moorhead (15-5, 11-5 NSIC) dropped a game at home for just the first time in 2013-14 last weekend, 109-107 in overtime to Upper Iowa, but has won four of five overall, including tripping up UMD 76-71 at Romano Gym on Jan. 24. Freshman guard Aaron Lien came off the bench and shot 7-of-15 for 18 points while junior big man Urbane Bingham had 14 points. Once again, Reetz led the way with 28 points on the night for the Bulldogs while also pulling down a game-high eight boards. Crawford had 15 points for the Bulldogs. UMD shot 48.9 percent from the field and held the Dragons to 41.7 percent, but 20 points off turnovers gave Moorhead the edge.

The Bulldogs are still 75-38 all-time against the Dragons after the defeat last time out.

UMD and Northern State will tip off the weekend on Friday evening at 8:00 p.m., following the women's contest, with the Dragons and Bulldogs getting underway Saturday at 6:00 p.m.
