SUNDAY BEST: After playing five games in a 15 period, the Blue Hawks have had 12 days off since their 76-70 come-from-behind victory over Montana State-Northern … they will now face a tough road test when they head to Jamestown to take on the 9-2 (one game pending) Jimmies at Harold Newman Arena … the win over MSUN snapped a four game losing streak for the Blue Hawks and pushed their home record to an even 2-2 on the year … Kayden Steele exploded for a career-high 21 points in the win and is now averaging 9.3 ppg on the season, good for third on the team … Samantha Oase (11.6) and Lindsay Peterson (10.3) are both averaging double figures in scoring for Dickinson State … after starting the season hot from long range, DSU's three-point field goal percentage has dipped to just 27.3 percent, they will look to get back to their sharp shooting ways on Sunday against a tough Jamestown squad … after the Jamestown game, the Blue Hawks will have another lengthy break before heading to Billings, Montana to take on Montana Western and Rocky Mountain College in rematches from earlier in the year
