History vs. Northern State... Winona State lost to Northern State earlier this year, a game that came down to the wire, eventually losing in
the final seconds. WSU is 1-4 in the last five matchups against NSU.
Climbing the Ranks Connor Dillon just surpassed Lyle Papenfuss in the Winona State record books to rank 22nd all time in points. Dillon looks to crack into the top-20, only
needing 28 more points.
Finish Strong... The Warriors have won seven of their last eight games, their most impressive stretch of the season. All in good timing as well, as the Warriors finish out the last three
games of the season, two of which are in McCown Gymnasium home of WNB Financial Court.

MEN'S BASKETBALL Warrior Notables Brock Voigt became the most recent Winona State player to reach the career 1,000-point mark. Voigt sat at 980 career points heading into Saturday’s game having scored 19 the night before in a Warrior win over UMary. Against the Beavers, Voigt led WSU with 20 points to the 1,000-point mark on the dot. For his efforts last weekend, Connor Dillon was tabbed as the NSIC Player of the Week. Dillon is the first to do so for the Warriors this season. Connor Dillon scored 32 points against the University of Mary last Friday night, marking the fourth time this season Dillon has hit or eclipsed the 30-point mark in a game. Connor Dillon played 39 of the 40 available minutes vs. UMary, and was not flagged with a single personal foul. Dillon was 11-of-15 at the free throw line, 3-of-6 from behind the arc, notched three steals, and had four rebounds in another impressive outing for Winona State. The win over Minnesota State Moorhead is the first ranked win for the Warriors since January 2, 2022, against the #13 ranked Upper Iowa. Winona State has tallied more steals than their opponents - 103 (5.2) for WSU vs. 89 (4.5) for opponents, but the Warriors block fewer shots 51 (2.36 than the competition 64 (3.2) WSU men’s basketball has now hit a 3-pointer in 712 straight games, dating back to Nov. 29, 2000. The 3-point streak nearly ended on Jan. 7, 2023, when WSU went 1-for-23 from behind the arc vs. Minnesota Crookston at home in McCown. The national record for team consecutive 3-pointers is UNLV, a program that has hit a 3-pointer in 1,204 consecutive games. The Running Rebels and Princeton (1030 games) are the only NCAA Division I teams to hit a 3 in every game since the 3-point line was introduced in the 1986-87 season (per HBC Sports Justin Barrientos). Connor Dillon’s 41 point performance vs. CSP was a career high for him and ranks 5th all-time in single game points at Winona State. In the game against Concordia St. Paul, Connor Dillon recorded 10 rebounds for the first 40 point double-double in Winona State history. Winona State now ranks sixth in the NSIC, only half a game behind Southwest Minnesota State.

MBB: LAST TIME OUT Winona State men's basketball beats Augustana University 80-67
WINONA, Minn. - The Winona State University men's basketball team used a balanced scoring attack against Augustana University, 80-67, Friday evening in McCown Gymnasium, home of WNB Financial Court. Winona State (14-8, 9-7 NSIC) saw three Warriors hit double-digits, with Connor Dillon (24), Connor Drew (16) and Devon Fielding (15) each contributing significantly to the Warrior win. Declan Dillon hauled in a team-leading 12 rebounds and had an impressive seven assists in the contest. Winona State held a 13-point lead at the break and had to snap a Viking rally midway through the second half to secure the key NSIC victory. How It Happened A hot start helped Winona State gain control of the contest from the outset, with WSU enjoying a 13-6 lead five minutes into the contest, with both Devon Fielding and Connor Dillon hitting triples early on.
Augustana notched a brief one-point lead at 19-18 midway through the half, but Winona State went on a 12-0 run fueled by four 3-pointers to separate as the teams battled toward the halftime buzzer. Connor Drew would put an exclamation point on the opening 20 minutes for Winona State, draining a three-pointer with three seconds left in the half. At the break, Winona State led the Vikings 46-33. At the Half: Winona State 46, Augustana 33
In the second half, Augustana would climb back into the game with a 9-3 run, cutting the Warrior advantage to 51-43. Declan Dillon delivered a 3-pointer to stop the Augustana run, but the visitors from Sioux Falls chipped away at WSU's lead to get within one possession at 54-51 Warriors. At that point, Brock Voigt and Connor Dillon combined for a six-point swing at a crucial time in the game, allowing Winona State to maintain momentum. Winona State closed out the contest with an 80-67 win over Augustana, their sixth win in seven games. WSU Stats Standouts: Connor Dillon 24 points, 5 assists, and 10-of-13 from the floor Connor Drew 16 points, 3 rebounds Devon Fielding 15 points, 4 rebounds Declan Dillon 12 rebounds, 7 assists, 7 points Team Stats Comparables: WSU out-rebounded the Vikings 36-28 Isaac Fink had 33 for Augustana, but no other Viking hit double digits in the game. With 12 boards, 7 assists and 7 points, Declan Dillon came the closest to a Warrior triple-double yet this season. Up Next: Winona State continues the Warrior home stand, taking on Wayne State College tomorrow, Saturday, February 9. The Warriors and Wildcats will face off at 5:30 p.m. in McCown Gymnasium, home of WNB Financial Court.
