Despite winning the second and fourth quarters, the Blue Hawks were unable to overcome a fast Bismarck State start and a 25-point third quarter by the Mystics.

Bismarck State (7-12, 7-8 Frontier) led 28-20 after the first quarter, fueled by five first-quarter three-pointers. The Mystics shot 45.5% from long range in the opening period and held an eight-point edge at halftime, 45-39. Dickinson State briefly took a lead early in the second quarter but trailed the rest of the way.

Kennedy Stormer led BSC with a game-high 25 points, including 4-of-9 from three and a perfect 7-of-7 at the line. Ashley Martodam added 18 points and 12 rebounds. The Mystics finished with 15 made three-pointers on 45 attempts and held a 45-40 rebounding advantage.

J'Ell Garfield scored five points and dished out three assists for Dickinson State, while Karson Tempel added eight points off the bench. The Blue Hawks' reserves combined for 21 points, but DSU was outscored 13-4 in second chance points and committed 14 turnovers to BSC's 11.

After being outscored 25-17 in the third quarter, DSU cut into the deficit in the final frame, holding BSC to just eight points in the fourth. However, the early damage was too much to overcome.
