Woodside made four of eight 3-pointers, helping the Bison go 8-for-20 from 3-point range. Mike Nelson, the only other NDSU player in double figures with 16 points, had three 3-pointers.

NDSU took a 19-4 lead on a Woodside layup with 9:26 left in the first half. NDSU's largest lead was 23 points midway through the second half.
