Four recent North Dakota high school graduates have filed a discrimination lawsuit seeking to reinstate the UND women’s hockey program.
The complaint filed Thursday comes three years after a judge dismissed a similar federal complaint by former Fighting Hawks players.
It alleges that UND violated Title IX laws that prohibit women from being treated differently because of gender.
The lawsuit was filed by 19-year-old Emily Becker, 19-year-old Morgan Stenseth and 18-year-old Maya Tellman, all of Grand Forks, and 20-year-old Calli Forsberg of Devils Lake.
The women say they want to attend UND and play hockey, but the school’s decision to drop the program in 2017 has deprived them of that opportunity.
