2019 Wildcat Softball - 35 THE NORTHERN SUN INTERCOLLEGIATE CONFERENCE

From its modest origin as a six-team alliance over eight decades ago, the Northern Sun Intercollegiate Conference has matured into a 16-team union of upper Midwest colleges and universities to form arguably the strongest affi liation in NCAA Division II. The NSIC can trace its roots to 1932 when six schools, including Bemidji State University, Minnesota State University, Mankato, Minnesota State University Moorhead, St. Cloud State University, University of Minnesota Duluth and Winona State University signed on as charter members. All remain active subscribers of the league today. Southwest Minnesota State University was added in 1969, followed by Northern State University in 1978, Wayne State College (NE) in 1998, Con- cordia University-St. Paul and the University of Minnesota Crookston in 1999, the University of Mary and Upper Iowa University in 2006, Augustana College in 2008 and Minot State University and the University of Sioux Falls in 2012. Minnesota State, St. Cloud State and Minnesota Duluth left the league to join the North Central Conference but returned to the NSIC in 2008. University of Minnesota, Morris and Michigan Tech University were once part of the NSIC family as well. In 1992 the NSIC became a true athletic showcase for both men and women with the merger of the traditional Northern Intercollegiate Conference (NIC) and the Northern Sun Conference (NSC), the home of women’s athletics since 1979. Before NSIC affi liates became certifi ed for championship competition in the National Collegiate Athletic Association (NCAA) in 1995, its member institutions fi lled prominent roles in the National Association of Intercollegiate Athletics (NAIA). NIC and NSC clubs annually dispatched qualifi ed student-athletes to national tournaments and captured several NAIA teams and individual championships. The NSIC continues to make a major imprint nationally, winning 21 national titles since 2006. Winona State men claimed NCAA II Basketball Championships in 2006 and 2008 and narrowly missed a third crown, falling in a last second shot in 2007. In addition, the Warriors established a NCAA II record of 57 consecutive victories. Concordia University launched an ongoing streak of seven consecutive NCAA II Volleyball Championships in 2007. In 2008 the Golden Bears won 37 straight matches after a season opening loss on their way to a second consecutive title and scripted a marvelous encore in 2009 with a perfect 37-0 fi nish, a third straight national crown and a winning streak of 74 straight matches. In 2010 the Golden Bear extended that NCAA record win streak to 75 before dropping their second match of the season. They started 2010 with a 10-4 record before ripping off 22 straight wins on their way to their fourth straight national title. In 2011, after overcoming midseason injuries, the Golden Bears hit their stride. The Golden Bears knocked off No. 1 and undefeated Cal State San Bernardino to become the fi rst team in the history of NCAA Division II women’s volleyball, to capture a fi fth consecutive NCAA Division II Championship. Then in 2012, the Golden Bears again made a late season and championship match surge as they defeated Tampa 3-2 after trailing 0-2 to win their sixth straight NCAA DII Volleyball National Championship. In 2013 Concordia-St. Paul won the NSIC regular season title, but was defeated in the NSIC Tournament Championship by Minnesota Duluth. But from there the Golden Bears ripped off six straight NCAA postseason wins, extending their streak to 42, on their way to a 3-0 sweep of BYU-Hawaii to win another NCAA National Championship. After a two year hiatus, the Golden Bears return to the top of Division II volleyball as they won the 2016 and 2017 national championships. In a most surprising run, Minnesota Duluth completed a perfect 15-0 season by winning the 2008 NCAA Division II Football Championship. The Bulldogs, limited to only 24 scholarships by league rule, swept a fi eld of fully-funded teams, including top ranked Grand Valley State and number three Northwest Missouri State. Two years later, in 2010, the Bulldogs repeated that feat, going 15-0 again to win the national championship. The Bulldogs became the fi rst NCAA DII football squad to win two national championships with undefeated records. Minnesota State added more luster to the league by fi nishing 32-2 and claiming the 2008-09 NCAA II Women’s Basketball Championship. The Mavericks rolled to a wild 103-94 victory over Franklin Pierce to set a NCAA record for total points in the title game. In 2017 the Maverick softball team went 64-7 to win the National Championship. The Mavericks went 10-1 in NCAA play, including 5-0 in Salem Virginia as they defeated Angelo State 5-1 in the championship game. Augustana got into the mix of national championships in 2011 when their women’s cross country team turned in a true team performance in Spo- kane, Wash. All fi ve Viking runners earned All-American status as Augustana won the fi rst cross country national championship in NSIC history. The Vikings men’s basketball team won the 2015-16 National Championship after going 34-2 and defeating Lincoln Memorial 90-81 in Frisco, Texas. The Augustana baseball team became the fi rst NSIC institution to win a national championship in baseball, as the Vikings had an impressive post season, going 8-1 in NCAA play and a perfect 4-0 in Cary, North Carolina to fi nish the season 52-9. After multiple runner-up fi nishes, the St. Cloud State Huskies fi nally captured the national championship in wrestling in 2015. They repeated in 2016 and then took home the title again in 2018. The NSIC has also had 12 athletes awarded with the NCAA Elite 90 Award on 15 occasions. Earning the award were DJ Pollard (Northern State, Men’s Basketball, 2018) Grant Pulver (UMD, Cross Country 2017), Leisa McClintock (WSC, Volleyball 2015), Tavia Rutherford (USF, Golf, 2015) Claire Sames (SMSU, Volleyball, 2014), Kara Pioske (Concordia-St. Paul, Volleyball 2013), Billy Brockmueller (Sioux Falls, Cross Country 2012, 2014 & IDTF 2014), Ben Keller (Minnesota State, Baseball 2012 & 2013), Cody Lensing (Augustana, Wrestling 2012), Kendra Huettl (Minnesota State, Softball, 2011), Matt Braithwaite (Augustana, Cross Country, 2010) and Lauren Brown (Winona State, Outdoor Track & Field, 2010). Member schools continue to emphasize the educational, entertainment and unifying value of sports while pointing with pride to the many advantages to be gained by attending these colleges and universities. The NSIC is committed to providing rewarding experiences for its student-athletes, and while the challenges that loom are sizable, indeed, the NSIC is surely well positioned for the future.
