The Northern Colorado Bears are gearing up to kick off their Summit League play with a three-game series against South Dakota State starting on March 14. Despite trailing in their all-time series record, the Bears displayed dominance in their meetings last season, outscoring the Jackrabbits 101-46 and averaging 16.8 runs per game. Pitcher Murphy Gienger, who recently set a school record with 14 strikeouts, will take the mound in the series opener.
While UNC had a stellar performance in 2024, their historical record against South Dakota State suggests that past success does not guarantee future victories. The Bears will need to leverage their offensive momentum from last season as they face off against the Jackrabbits once again.
Murphy Gienger is set to start in game one against South Dakota State’s Arlen Peters, as the Bears look to translate their past success into a strong start to their Summit League campaign. Following the series, the Bears will take on Utah in a mid-week matchup before returning home to play North Dakota State.
The Bears are aiming to build on their success from last season and secure a strong start in Summit League play. Overcoming their historical deficit against South Dakota State will be key for boosting their confidence and maintaining their momentum as they move forward in the season.
