Some milestones for UND athletics during Faison's second year:

Statewide, regional and national exposure for UND athletics was dramatically expanded for television and radio coverage.

Thanks to Fox College Sports!!


Annual giving to the Fighting Sioux Club enjoyed another record year.

UND student-athletes continued their tradition of academic excellence: nine student-athletes were named ESPN the Magazine Division I Academic All-District, four student-athletes were named ESPN the Magazine Division I Academic All-Americans, 2 student-athletes received NCAA postgraduate scholarships and 111 student-athletes - 25 percent of UND's student-athlete population - received academic all-conference recognition.


Student-athletes provided 6,845 hours of community service.


Volleyball won UND's first (non-hockey) Division I regular season conference championship and conference post season tournament championship, football had its eighth straight winning season, women's basketball won the GWC regular season championship, softball won the GWC Tournament championship (the first in program history) and men's hockey won the Broadmoor Trophy as WCHA Final Five champions and qualified for the NCAA tournament for the eighth consecutive year.
