NDSU looks to rebound in the Bison Open, set for Saturday at Scheels Center.

The NDSU women's basketball team romped to a season opening win over Milwaukee on the road, 69-58. Ryan Cobbins paced the Bison with 18 points, while Heaven Hamling tallied 11. NDSU will stay on the road Saturday against Green Bay.
