JACKSONVILLE, Fla. (Interstat) — In a commanding performance at the WBB Osprey Thanksgiving Classic, the North Dakota State Bison women’s basketball team secured a decisive 71-49 victory over the Campbell Fightin’ Camels on Friday.

The Bison improved their season record to 4-2 with the win, while the Fightin’ Camels fell to an even 4-4.

North Dakota State established control early, outscoring Campbell 20-18 in a competitive first quarter. The game’s trajectory shifted dramatically in the second period, where the Bison’s defense clamped down, holding the Fightin’ Camels to just seven points while adding 17 of their own. This pivotal stretch gave North Dakota State a 37-25 halftime lead from which Campbell would never recover.

The Bison maintained their double-digit advantage throughout the second half, adding 14 points in the third quarter and another 20 in the fourth to seal the 22-point victory. Campbell managed only 24 points after the first quarter.

Marisa Frost led all scorers with a game-high 21 points for North Dakota State. The guard from Lino Lakes, Minnesota, also contributed four assists and two rebounds in 34 minutes of action. She was instrumental in the Bison’s offensive execution, particularly from the free-throw line.

Abby Krzewinski provided significant support, scoring 15 points and grabbing seven rebounds. Avery Koenen added 12 points and five rebounds, while Karrington Asp chipped in nine points and seven boards.

The Bison offense was efficient in capitalizing on Campbell’s mistakes, scoring 20 points off turnovers compared to Campbell’s 12. Despite being outscored 34-28 in the paint, North Dakota State’s perimeter game and ability to convert from the charity stripe proved to be the difference.

For Campbell, the scoring was more distributed. Gianni Boone and N’na Konate each finished with 10 points, with Konate pulling down four rebounds. Ciara Alexander filled the stat sheet with nine points, seven rebounds, an assist and a block. Jasmine Nivar added seven points off the bench.

The game, played at a neutral site in Jacksonville, was witnessed by an announced attendance of 50. The contest was part of a multi-team event, with both teams scheduled to play again in the area on Saturday. North Dakota State will face Bethune-Cookman, while Campbell is set to take on North Florida.

The victory continues a positive stretch for the Bison, who have now won three of their last four games. Campbell, after a strong start to the season, has now dropped two of its last three contests. The result aligned with pre-game statistical models that heavily favored North Dakota State to win.
