Augustana & Southwest Minnesota State head to North Dakota for NSIC Baseball Tournament

SIOUX FALLS, S.D. (Dakota News Now) – The Augustana Vikings and Southwest Minnesota State Mustangs will look to earn their way into the 2024 NCAA Division Two Central Region Tournament via winning the NSIC Tournament starting Wednesday in North Dakota.

The event is split between two sites at Municipal Ballpark in Bismarck and Veterans Memorial Stadium in Mandan before finishing up in Mandan with the championship games on Saturday, May 11th.

Regular season champion Augustana (41-8, 32-6 NSIC) opens the tournament on Wednesday in Mandan against Concordia-St. Paul (27-20, 19-19 NSIC) at noon. The Vikings won all three regular season meetings between the teams in Sioux Falls April 20-21. Ranked fourth in the NCAA’s Central Region Augustana is all but a lock to make the NCAA Tournament regardless of this week’s NSIC Tournament outcome.

SMSU (26-22, 20-19 NSIC) will also get underway on Wednesday in Bismarck against UM-Crookston (34-14, 28-10 NSIC) at 6:00 PM. In their regular season series the Mustangs lost two out of three in Crookston, splitting a doubleheader on April 13th (dropping the first game 8-0 before bouncing back to win game two 12-2) and dropping a slugfest rubber game 18-11.

Press Room

(KNOX) – The North Dakota Board of Higher Education is being asked to weigh in on the reconstruction of Ray Richard’s Golf Course in Grand Forks. The upgrades and deferred maintenance improvements are the result of the pending DeMers Avenue/42nd Street Underpass project.

UND sold 6.5 acres of the nine hole course to the North Dakota Department of Transportation for the grade separation. During the road construction the golf course will be realigned and reduced to a par 34 course. UND will also address underground utilities and irrigation systems. The total cost is around 4.5 million dollars.

The course will close for the 2026 and 2027 seasons. The goal is to reopen in 2028. SBHE is expected to approve the design at its April 30th meeting.

Crews are expected to begin preliminary work on the $90 million dollar underpass project this week. The initial phase will have minimal impacts to traffic on both 42nd Street and DeMers Avenue. Larger impacts are expected later this summer.
