If you could travel anywhere in the world, where would you go?
I would travel to Italy to relax by the sea and enjoy good food.
UND Men's Tennis registered a historic season in Leo Galliano's first year as a Fighting Hawk. The team finished with a school-record 18 victories and advanced to the Summit League title match before falling to league champion Denver. It was the program's most successful season in the Division I era.
Pledge Your Loyalty
As the costs to run top collegiate athletic programs continue to escalate, the University of North Dakota Alumni Association & Foundation and UND Athletics are working to secure the future of the programs we know and love.
