HOME AGAIN: A 2-0 conference weekend has Dickinson State coming home on a high note … victories over Bellevue and Dakota State on the road have put the Blue Hawks in a tie for second place in the North Star Athletic Association … the games against Waldorf and Viterbo this weekend could play a large part in the Blue Hawks hosting a playoff game later this season … a season full of close losses has turned into close wins lately, and coach Derek Selvig's squad will look to continue that in Scott Gym on Friday and Saturday

QUOTES…
Head Coach Derek Selvig
"We are looking forward to playing two games in Scott Gym this weekend. We haven't had very many home games, so I know our guys are chomping at the bit to play in front of our crowd. Every game in the North Star is tough and these two teams are going to be a challenge."
