A slow start by the Fighting Hawks was too much to overcome against Grand Canyon Saturday night in the home opener. UND was held to 4-of-16 shooting in the first quarter and trailed 20-9 after 10 minutes of play. The Hawks offense picked up in the second period, as they shot .538 percent from the field.

UND outscored Grand Canyon 16-9 in the final quarter and held the lopes to a .364 shooting percentage while they knocked down 7-of-16 attempts from the field. Kiera Pemberton posted her first career double-double with 18 points and 11 rebounds. Kacie Borowicz paced the Hawks in scoring for the second straight game with 20 points.

Borowicz named Summit League Peak Performer of the Week
Kacie Borowicz was named the Summit League Women's Basketball Peak Performer of the Week Monday. Borowicz was the lone Summit League player during the opening week to score 20-plus in two contests as she racked up her fifth career weekly honor.

Borowicz opened the season by pouring 29 points on 11-of-17 shooting from the floor in a road loss at Wyoming. She also went 6-for-8 from the foul stripe and added three rebounds against the Cowgirls. In UND's home opener against Grand Canyon, the Roseau, Minn., native led all scorers with 20 points and also equaled her career-high with five steals against the Lopes.

For the week, Borowicz averaged 24.5 ppg, 3.0 rpg, 3.0 apg and 3.0 spg for the Fighting Hawks.

Pemberton Posts First Career Double-Double
In her first game at the Betty Engelstad Sioux Center, freshman Kiera Pemberton posted her first career double-double in the green and white. Pemberton poured in 18 points on an efficient 7-of-9 shooting and was active on the boards with 11 total rebounds. 

She helped the NoDak offense push the pace, securing eight defensive rebounds with three of those boards resulting in seven fast break points for the freshman. Pemberton corralled three offensive rebounds and went 4-for-7 from the free throw line.
