Defense shuts down dangerous Bears offense
Drue Aman Sports Editor The regular season ends Nov. 20, and SDSU (4-5,4-3) looked far from ready to quit early Saturday. One week after a track and field-like performance from Indiana State pitted against the Jacks defensive unit, several players turned in performances filling up the stat sheet along with holding Missouri State (4-5, 3-3) [...]

Marcus TraxlerAssistant Sports Editor On a chilly night, the Summit League Women’s Soccer Championship semifinal was exactly what one would expect between two rivals with identical conference records and similar styles of play.

My night at the symphony
Frederic ConeNews Editor The Moscow State Symphony Orchestra conducted by Maestro Pavel Kogan came to the Performing Arts Center for one night of symphonic classics. It was a night to remember and possibly one of the finest classical performances I have seen &- not just here in South Dakota, but in my hometown of Seattle, [...]
Talented and inexperienced
Drue AmanSports Editor Scott Nagy wants to rebound. No, not rebound from a disappointing bow out in the first round of the Summit League Tournament last year, a 66-61 loss to the Mastodons of Indiana-Purdue-Fort Wayne.
