University of North Dakota Athletics

The 1957-58 North Dakota men's hockey team provided many "firsts" for the now-historic program with its 24-7-1 overall record.
 
Coached by Bob May, the Fighting Sioux were the first team in program history to win 20 games in a single season and captured the first of a now NCAA-record 22 conference titles. The conference crown helped UND advance to the NCAA Tournament for the first time in school history.
 
In the national tournament, UND defeated Harvard by a 9-1 score before eventually falling to Denver in the program's first national championship game appearance.
