OMAHA, Neb. – The Omaha Mavericks outscored the North Dakota State University women's basketball team, 25-11, in the second quarter to help them claim an 80-67 victory over the Bison Wednesday, Jan. 24, at Baxter Arena.

The Bison shot 50 percent from the field and 40 percent from three-point range, but were outrebounded by the Mavs, 38-26, including a 23-6 margin in offensive rebounds. NDSU also reached the free-throw line just three times in the game.

North Dakota State jumped out to 24-16 lead at the end of the first quarter.

Omaha (9-10, 1-6 Summit League) responded though, and used an 11-0 run at the end of the second quarter to gain a 41-35 advantage going into halftime. The Bison would get no closer than eight the remainder of the game.
