FARGO, N.D. -- Missing out on The Summit League Tournament, the IUPUI women's basketball team will be playing for pride when they take on North Dakota State on Monday. Tip-off from the Bison Sports Arena is scheduled for 8:00 p.m. ET, with Bill Potter on the call live on IUPUIJags.com.

IUPUI (3-25, 2-15 Summit) will be looking for their first win in Fargo in their third trip to the Flickertail State. North Dakota State (15-12, 10-7 Summit) wrapped up the fifth seed for The Summit League Tournament on Saturday with a 74-51 win over Western Illinois.

The Jaguars put three players into double figures in Saturday's 77-55 defeat at South Dakota State, led by Kerah Nelson's 15 points. Nelson is averaging 15.1 points per game in Summit League play, the fourth-best average in the conference this season.

Nelson was joined in double figures by Briannica Tye, who added 14, giving her an average of 11.0 points per game since she returned from injury on Feb. 13.

Ebony Davis had 11 to round out the trio in double figures for IUPUI.

The Jaguars will need to bottle up NDSU's Katie Birkel, who posted her third straight game with 20 or more points on Saturday, scoring 22.

Fans can follow the game live on IUPUIJags.com, as Potter's call of the game will begin at approximately 7:50 p.m. ET.
