CHICAGO -- Before the start of the season, the UND women's basketball team laid out three goals for the year.
The Sioux accomplished the first one by winning the Great West Conference regular-season title.
On Friday, UND achieved its second goal by winning 20 games for the first time in the Division I transition.
On Saturday, the Sioux will look to finish off those goals by winning their first Great West tournament title.
The UND bench scored 56 points on the way to an 88-48 rout over Texas-Pan American in the semifinals of the conference tournament at Jones Convocation Center on the campus of Chicago State.
