Trivia answer

From 1D: Seattle became the first team in NBA history to have 10 double-figure scorers in one game, as the SuperSonics beat the Los Angeles Clippers 150-101. All 12 Sonics scored in the game and Steve Scheffler's layup with 8.4 seconds left made him the 10th Sonic to score in double figures.

10 years ago (1997):The University of Mary baseball team lost a non-conference game to Mayville State and defeated Minot State in North Dakota Athletic Conference action in Ray.

The Marauders committed five errors in losing to the Comets 9-2. Ryan House took the loss, though he struck out six while going the distance.

Brad Hauff went 2-for-3 with two RBIs for U-Mary.

Against Minot, Jason Salz tossed a one-hitter through six innings and struck out eight. But it took a little luck and Steve Ambuehl's relief pitching to preserve the 4-3 win.

The Beavers scored three times in the seventh and had the bases loaded twice against Ambuehl and Peter Mische.

Catcher Mike Wren hit a three-run home run and Salz finished 2-for-3 for the Marauders, who are now 3-0 in the NDCAC and 11-3 overall.

20 years ago (1987): Mandan continued its sparkling girls tennis play by rolling over St. Mary's 8-1 in Mandan.

The Braves, who captured the Minot tournament the previous weekend, won five of six singles matches and all three doubles matches.

The singles winners included Eva Jorgensen (No. 1), Barb Coghlan (No. 2), Jennifer Mellen (No. 3), Kelly Heck (No. 4) and Tana Harding (No. 6).

Doubles winners were Jorgensen-Coghlan (No. 1), Mellen-Karla Kasper (No. 2) and Miller-Harding (No. 3).

"I was pleased because I was concerned about a letdown after playing so well in the Minot tournament," said Dave Mellen, Mandan coach. "I'm really impressed with how steady St. Mary's is. They are by no means a pushover."

Ann Kilzer was the only winner for the Saints at No. 5 singles.

Mandan is now 2-2 in duals.

50 years ago (1957): FARGO - Some 30 or 40 candidates were expected to report to NDAC football coach Bob Danielsen for the opening session of spring practice.

Danielsen said a preliminary meeting was encouraging, and that about 35 men attended. The Bison will work out four days this week, and then six days a week until completion of the session about May 10.

Danielsen said the Bison would concentrate on offense this spring, and that defenses would be emphasized in the fall.

He observed that the Bison looked good on defense last season, and that with the return of a strong line, the club should be tough for any opposition.

Among lettermen expected to report are: Roger Gebhart and Charles Hyde of Wahpeton; Dick Tschider and John Campagna of Bismarck; Don Backley and Gene Gleeson of Chicago; Don Basch of Fargo; Gordon Friede of Chinook, Mont.; Marvin Miller of Wheaton, Minn.; Herman Nagel of Linton; Lynn Parkel of La Crescent, Minn., and Wayne Wall of Bottineau.
