(Dec. 21, 2000)--GRAND FORKS, N.D. -- UND forward Mandy Arndtson (Sr., Austin, Minn.) scored 16 points and was one of five Sioux players to score in double figures, as North Dakota beat Minnesota-Crookston, 98-59, in non-conference women's basketball at the Hyslop Sports Center on Thursday.
UND, ranked third in the nation, extended its record to 10-0, while UM-Crookston fell to 4-6.
Also reaching double digits for the Fighting Sioux were point guard Tonia Jones (Sr., Thompson, N.D.) and center Jenny Boll (So., Crookston, Minn.), who each scored 14 points in the game, forward Theresa LeCuyer (Sr., Anoka, Minn.), who tallied 13 points and center Janel Palbicki (So., Bloomington, Minn.), who recorded 12 points. Sarah Nagel led UM-Crookston with 15 points.
The outcome of the game was never in doubt, as UND jumped out to a 17-2 lead in the game's first nine minutes. The Sioux led by as many as 30 points in the first half (46-16 with 3:01 to play) and were up 50-27 at halftime.
The big lead enabled Sioux head coach Gene Roebuck to empty his bench in the second half. Every UND player got at least four minutes of playing time and all 13 Sioux players scored.
The Sioux's 56.2 (41-of-73) shooting percentage from the field was UND's second-best on the season. UND shot 57.7 percent from the field in a win over Grand Canyon University on Nov. 24. Jones made all seven of her field goal attempts for UND, and Arndtson was 6-of-7 from the field.
Minnesota-Crookston was held to 33.3 percent (20-of-60) shooting from the field, and UND forced the Golden Eagles into 33 turnovers.
UND outrebounded the Golden Eagles, 42-33.
North Dakota is done with the non-conference portion of its schedule, and will resume conference play on Dec. 29 at Nebraska-Omaha.
