MSUM Dragons Podcasts

You’ve heard tons about Dragon women’s basketball this season with the Area Woman Article with Karla Nelson, pre-season player of the year Megan Hintz, NDSU transfer Sarah Jacobson joining the team, and hey…why not also throw in a Documentary on last season at the Fargo Theatre?! Those moments stand out, but there are several other standouts that haven’t gotten the microphone yet who are integral to the success and culture of this program…like today’s guest…6’2” junior guard Brooklyn Liegel. After big moments in last year’s tournament run, Brooklyn is stepping in nicely into a starting role but is also one of the key culture players on the team as well. Here’s my interview with Brooklyn Liegel.

Nadir Yusuf just took 14th place (All-American) at the 2019 NCAA Cross Country Championships in Sacramento, CA. He talks about his race plan, doing something that hasn't been done in 51 years, and how he runs for others. Check out the video of this interview here - https://youtu.be/OoHH0YFaizw
