MINOT, N.D. - For South Dakota Mines, it was a high point in a tough week.

For Minot State University, it was a game of missed opportunities.

The No. 25 Hardrockers held MSU to just 37.5 percent shooting and got a combined 40 points from Bethany Holyoak and Loryn Schuetzle to upset the No. 21 Beavers 72-70 in Dakota Athletic Conference women's basketball Saturday at the MSU Dome.

The Hardrockers snapped a three-game losing streak that started with a loss to MSU at home Jan. 25 - a game they lost two-time All-American Melanie Vedvei to a knee injury.
