Northern Sun Conference (women's, 1979–1992)Headquarters Saint Paul, Minnesota Commissioner Butch Raymond (since 2005) Website northernsun.org Locations The Northern Sun Intercollegiate Conference (NSIC) is a college athletic conference which operates in the Midwestern United States. Nine of its members are in Minnesota, with two members in South Dakota and one member each in the states of Iowa, Nebraska and North Dakota.[1] It participates in the NCAA's Division II. It was founded in 1932.[2] With the recent NSIC expansion, the original six member schools have been reunited.[3] With the inclusion of the four new member institutions, it is one of the largest Division II conferences in the country.
The conference sponsors 17 sports; nine for women and eight for men. Both men and women compete in basketball, cross country, golf, indoor and outdoor track and field. Men compete in baseball, football and wrestling. Women compete in soccer, softball, tennis and volleyball.
History
The Northern Sun Intercollegiate Conference was founded in 1932[2] as the Northern Teachers Athletic Conference. Charter members included Bemidji State Teachers College (Bemidji State University), Duluth State Teachers College (University of Minnesota Duluth), Mankato State Teachers College (Minnesota State University, Mankato), Moorhead State Teachers College (Minnesota State University Moorhead), St. Cloud State Teachers College (St. Cloud State University) and Winona State Teachers College (Winona State University). In 1942 the conference name was changed to the State Teacher's College Conference of Minnesota.[3] The conference switched its name to the Northern Intercollegiate Conference (NIC) in 1962.[3] In the spring of 1992 the NSIC was formed out of the merger of the NIC, the men's conference, and the women's Northern Sun Conference (NSC). The NSC had existed since 1979.[4]
In the 1998-99 academic year, the NSIC became an expanded eight-team league from a previous seven-member conference by adding Wayne State College, and in 1999-2000 became a 10-member conference by adding Concordia University, St. Paul, and the University of Minnesota Crookston. The conference existed as an eight-member league from 2004-05 until 2005-06 with the departure of the University of Minnesota Duluth to the now defunct North Central Conference, and the University of Minnesota Morris to NCAA Division III.
In 2007 the NSIC Board of Directors voted to expand the conference to 14 schools.[3] League presidents voted to accept into membership Augustana College, St. Cloud State University, the University of Minnesota Duluth, and Minnesota State University, Mankato.[3] These four schools were members of the North Central Conference which disbanded after the 2007-2008 academic year.[3] They became official members of the NSIC on July 1, 2008.
On January 20, 2010 the NSIC Board of Directors voted to expand the conference again, this time to 16 members. The league accepted into membership the University of Sioux Falls and Minot State University. Both schools are moving from the NAIA, with USF leaving the Great Plains Athletic Conference, and Minot State leaving the Dakota Athletic Conference. The two schools will become active members in the 2012-13 academic year.
The NSIC and its member institutions have been members of the National Association of Intercollegiate Athletics (NAIA). Mankato State won wrestling national titles in 1958 and 1959, while Moorhead State won a wrestling national title in 1964.[5] 41 wrestlers have claimed individual national titles in wrestling[5] Nine individuals have won national titles in Men's Swimming and Diving.[6] Northern State claimed national titles in women's basketball in 1992 and 1994.[7] Seven individuals have won individual titles in men's indoor track and field.[8] Four individuals have won national titles in women's indoor track and field.[8] 11 athletes have won national titles in men's outdoor track and field.[9] Six female athletes have won individual titles in outdoor track and field.[10] Winona State won two team titles in women's gymnastics. In 1992, the NSIC entered the National Collegiate Athletic Association (NCAA). In the Fall of 1995, the NSIC and its member institutions became eligible for championship competition in the NCAA Division II ranks. The Northern Sun earned its first Division II national championship in a team sport sponsored by the conference when Winona State won the men's basketball championship in 2005-06.[11]
Since becoming affiliated with NCAA Division II, NSIC members have won ten team national championships and has also crowned 33 individual national champions.
The highest ranking team in the NSIC in football that does not make the playoffs plays in the Mineral Water Bowl, against the highest ranking team from the Mid-America Intercollegiate Athletic Association that does not make the playoffs.[12]

Schedule Format
Currently the 14-member NSIC plays a 10-game conference schedule, leaving schools with one non-conference game to play to start the season. Every team plays the other six teams in its own division every year and then plays four games against teams from the opposite division with those opposite division teams rotating on and off the schedule every two years for home-and-home purposes. The exception is the designated cross-division rival, who teams play every year. When the conference expands to 16 teams for the 2012 season, schools will play an 11-game conference schedule, eliminating all non-conference games. Schools will play seven games within its own division and four games against the opposite division. It is not yet known if cross-division "rivalry" games will be continued in the 16-team league.Rivalry Games
Mary vs. Minnesota State Moorhead - Battle for the Paddle
The first-ever gridiron matchup between U-Mary and Minnesota State University Moorhead took on a little extra edge in 2006 as both schools battled for "The Paddle Trophy" in this "River Rivalry" game. U-Mary is located on the Missouri River and MSU Moorhead is on the Red River. Both are Northern Sun North Division rivals. The Paddle Trophy was developed by the student governments of the two colleges. The team that wins each year is responsible for the safekeeping and delivery of the Paddle Trophy and its case to each game between the Marauders and Dragons. The home team's student body representative will award the Paddle Trophy, which has each school's logo on opposite sides of the blade, with the score of each game being added to the winning team's side after the game. U-Mary leads the series 6-0.Minnesota State, Mankato vs. St. Cloud State - Traveling Training Kit
Inaugurated in 1978, the Traveling Training Kit signifies the rivalry between the two longest-tenured Minnesota members of the former North Central Conference—and current Northern Sun Intercollegiate Conference members—Minnesota State University and St. Cloud State University. The trophy is an athletic trainer's training kit that features the MSU logo on a purple background on one side and the St. Cloud State logo on a red background on the other side. The winner of each year's game takes home the coveted kit. MSU and SCSU started playing each other in the 1923 season, and have played at least once in every season since rekindling the rivalry in 1978 following a five-year break in the series. SCSU leads the series 41-31-4.Bemidji State vs. Minnesota Crookston - The Hubcap
The Bemidji State and Minnesota Crookston football teams first met Oct. 29, 1927. Although the series spans over 80 years, the teams have only gone head-to-head on 16 prior occasions. Following four consecutive victories by the Beavers in the series between 1927 and 1933, the teams took a 65-year hiatus before rekindling the rivalry in 1998 as the Golden Eagles joined the ranks of the NSIC in NCAA Division II. UMC got the best of BSU in that 1998 contest, 34-30, but the win stands as the only Golden Eagles' triumph in the series thus far. In 2004, the teams began to play for a little bit more. The coaches for the two schools got together and decided that since the only thing separating the schools were 88 miles of Highway 2, a traveling trophy was needed to add a little spice to the yearly meetings. What could be more representative of that relationship than a discarded hubcap laying on the side of the road? So since 2004, the winner of the annual BSU/UMC football game has been awarded a well-traveleld hubcab. BSU leads the "Hubcap" series 8-0.Bemidji State vs. Minnesota State Moorhead - The Battle Axe
Bemidji State and MSU Moorhead first met in 1929 and have met annually since 1946. The Battle Axe game is the second-longest running trophy game in NCAA Division II having started in 1948. The Dragons won the inaugural game in the Battle Axe series. The Battle Axe itself is an item that a Bemidji State alum brought back home from New Guinea. The score of each game is painted on the axe each year. Minnesota State-Moorhead leads the Battle Axe series 34-27-3.Cross-Division Rivalries
When the NSIC setup its schedule for a 14-team conference with two seven-team divisions, the conference established cross-division "rivalry" games that are played every year. The other cross-divisional opponents rotate on and off the schedule every two years.North Division Rival South Division Rival Bemidji State < = > Concordia-St. Paul Mary < = > Wayne State Minnesota-Crookston < = > Upper Iowa Minnesota-Duluth < = > Winona State Minnesota State-Moorhead < = > Southwest Minnesota State Northern State < = > Augustana St. Cloud State < = > Minnesota State-Mankato Conference Championships Per School
