The UND women’s basketball team failed to capture a win over Northern Colorado last Saturday, falling 67-56 at Betty Engelstad Sioux Center.

The Bears came out with a 10-0 lead and continued their perseverance to put UND down in its final regular season home game.

Despite the loss, North Dakota still clinched the No. 6 seed in the Big Sky tournament and will have another chance against the Bears, who earned the No. 3 seed at 2:30 p.m. this Wednesday.

UND junior Mia Loyd also tallied her 1,000th career point Saturday and became the 32nd player in UND history to garner the honor. She ended the game with 13 points and seven rebounds.
