The Thunderbird Men and Women will both play on Friday November 2nd at the 4 Bears Casino Event Center with the women opening up against Dawson Community College at 6pm followed by the men playing cross town rival Bismarck State College at 8pm.
The women are coming off a season which saw them advance to the Region XIII championship game and are seeded 5th in the 8 team tournament. The men finished 20-10 a year ago and are seeded 4th. Both teams look to mix in some exciting new recruits along with a solid veteran core.
