Winkelman was 9-for-18 from the field and 15-for-17 from the foul line, including 14 of 16 in the second half.  He added 14 rebounds to complete his seventh double-double of the season and the 21st of his career.

Woodside was 10-for-17 overall including three 3-pointers, and he was 9-for-12 at the foul line. Michael Tveidt was the only other NDSU player in double figures with 11 points.

North Dakota State jumped out to an 11-2 lead in the first four minutes, but Centenary went on a 15-5 run to take its first lead 17-16 on a pair of Gary Redus free throws at the 8:42 mark.

Woodside made two 3-pointers and three free throws as NDSU answered with a 14-4 run to build another nine-point lead.  The Bison led 33-29 at halftime.

Redus and Lance Hill combined for 14 points on a 16-6 Centenary run that gave the Gents their biggest lead, 47-43 with 14:19 to play.  The Bison used a 10-0 run to go ahead for good.

Redus finished with 26 points and five rebounds for the Gents, Hill finished with 18 and David Perez scored 12.
