FARGO - The North Dakota State women's basketball program lost one player, but will gain one of the area's biggest names. Setter Jennifer Lopez has committed to the basketball team after volleyball ends.
She'll be a senior setter this fall, a four-year starter for a program that has qualified for the NCAA tournament in two of her first three years. Bison basketball coach Carolyn DeHoff said she first talked to head volleyball coach Kari Thompson before moving on to Lopez.
Meanwhile, freshman guard Kelsey Peltier left the team after last season, but will remain at NDSU to get her education, DeHoff said.
Jeff would like to dispel the notion he was around when Johannes Gutenberg invented the printing press, but he is on his third decade of reporting with Forum Communications. The son of a reporter and an English teacher, and the brother of a reporter, Jeff has worked at the Jamestown Sun, Bismarck Tribune and since 1990 The Forum, where he's covered North Dakota State athletics since 1995.
Jeff has covered all nine of NDSU's Division I FCS national football titles and has written three books: "Horns Up," "North Dakota Tough" and "Covid Kids." He is the radio host of "The Golf Show with Jeff Kolpack" April through August.
