Jackson Stevenett, Southern Utah's leading scorer coming in, had 16 points and Damon Heuir added 12 for the Thunderbirds (12-11, 7-6), who saw their three-game winning streak snapped.
The long-range shooting disparity was a big part of the outcome. North Dakota State hit 7 of its 17 3-point attempts, while Southern Utah was just 1 of 2 from beyond the arc.
With the win, North Dakota State held onto third place in the Summit League. Southern Utah fell from fourth to fifth.
