“We are starting to get to that point in the season where you need to win those close matches,” said coach Spencer Novonty. “I feel we are about there and this tournament tested us as a team We were a few guys down still but I was happy with how we were still able to get fourth as a team. We will need to get those bonus points in the post season. We will probably have a little technique work on Monday as we prepare for Chamberlain which was on Tuesday, Feb. 4. I am hoping we will have our guys all back for Big Dakota on Saturday,” said Novotny.
The Big Dakota tournament will be Feb. 8 starting at 10 a.m. in Ft. Pierre.
