DWU men move to 5-1 with home win over Hastings

MITCHELL — Balanced offense, solid defense and winning plays. The formula was there again for the Dakota Wesleyan men’s basketball team on Saturday afternoon for a 79-73 win over Hastings College at the Corn Palace in the Great Plains Athletic Conference opener for both teams. DWU improved to 5-1 on the season, while handing Hastings its first loss of the season and putting the Broncos on the same 5-1 record. “It's really cool to see different guys stepping up and fulfilling different roles,” DWU coach Sam Nicholson said. “You know, some minutes are more spread out this year and you would think that guys are playing the most they've ever played, just from a personality side of things. They're so invested in the group and they're cheering for each other, which is really cool to see.” Hastings held a 66-62 lead with 6:39 remaining but DWU then scored the next seven points to get in front.
