FARGO, N.D. (AP) Geno Crandall scored a career-high 24 points and North Dakota pulled away for a 74-56 win over archrival North Dakota State on Wednesday night.

North Dakota leads the all-time series with the Bison 160-130, which dates back to 1905. However it is the first win for the Fighting Hawks in Fargo since the school moved to Division I in 2012.

Corey Baldwin finished with 13 points and Drick Bernstein added 12 for the Fighting Hawks (5-2).

Dexter Werner scored a career-high 30 for North Dakota State (6-4), but the Bison struggled much of the night offensively, shooting only 41.4 percent and 1 of 20 from 3-point range.

North Dakota led by 10 at halftime and pulled away in the second. A Baldwin free throw gave the Fighting Hawks a 15-point lead and two more by Carson Shanks made it 70-50 with 1:09 left.
