MADISON, S.D. - Dakota State (S.D.) took part of the 2026-27 Frontier Conference Women's Basketball Media Day, presented by IMA Financial earlier this week.  Tenth-year head coach David Moe, along with graduate Caitlin Dyer, and seniors Bria Wasmund and Cierra Watkins took part of the media day with Frontier Conference's Commissioner Dr. Scott Craward and emcee Rocky Erickson.

Dakota State is coming off from a historic season with a school record 30 victories and advanced to the NAIA National Tournament's semifinals for the second time since 2023.  The Trojans won the regular season title in their first year of the Frontier Conference last season, extending their streak to six consecutive regular season conference titles (five with the North Star Athletic Association prior to joining the expanding 12-team Frontier Conference).  

DSU opens their season next weekend in the Northwest Crossover Classic in Spokane, Wash.  The Trojans face a pair of teams from the Cascade Colleigate Conference (CCC), starting on Saturday, Oct. 24 versus Walla Walla (Wash.).  Dakota State also face Oregon Tech on Sunday, Oct. 25.  Both games are set for 10 p.m. (Central Time)/8 p.m. (Pacific Time).

Dakota State then travels to Grand View (Iowa) on Halloween before taking a pair of Great Plains Athletic Conference teams in the Cattle Classic in Seward, Neb., on Nov. 6-7.  DSU then plays their annual contest at the Sanford Sports Complex versus Dordt (Iowa) before opening the 22-game Frontier Conference schedule at home versus Bellevue (Neb.) on Nov. 21.
