Tigers' Dorsey wins GPAC player of year
Darrin Dorsey wasn’t getting many scholarship offers after his sophomore season at Bakersfield College, a junior college in Bakersfield, Calif.
The Phoenix native had had a good sophomore season, but suffered a foot injury, dropping his scoring average from around 13 points per game to right around nine points per game.
More than 1,600 miles away, Dakota Wesleyan men’s basketball coach John Hemenway was still trying to fill his roster for the 2009-10 season and the summer was starting to come to a close. He had two scholarship spots open up in early August and was looking for the right fit.

Tigers wrap up GPAC regular season with win over Hastings
A few days ago, it seemed the Dakota Wesleyan University men’s basketball team’s game against Hastings College Saturday would decide the Great Plains Athletic Conference regular-season champion.
A hard-fought win for the Tigers and an upset loss for Hastings, however, sealed the title for DWU a few days ahead of schedule, eliminating the pressure and the implications Saturday afternoon.

DWU women give No. 1 Hastings a scare, lose 57-46
After a 102-49 loss to No. 3 Northwestern College Wednesday night, Dakota Wesleyan University women’s basketball coach Aaron Kahl wasn’t sure how his team would respond Saturday against top-ranked Hastings.
But thanks to some senior leadership, the Tigers hung with Hastings throughout the entire game.
Turnovers and free throws down the stretch ultimately doomed Dakota Wesleyan, which fell 57-46 in their final regular- season game.
Hastings, which is 27-3 overall and 17-1 in the Great Plains Athletic Conference, is third in the league in scoring with an average 79 points per game.

Broughton honored with GPAC award
Last season, the Dakota Wesleyan University men’s basketball team played its entire schedule without its All-American forward.
Preston Broughton had to have several knee surgeries before the season even started and didn’t see a single minute of playing time the entire season.
At the start of the 2009-10 season, DWU coach John Hemenway said Broughton was “pretty close to where he left off.” Now, during perhaps the most crucial point of the Tigers’ Great Plains Athletic Conference schedule, Broughton has clearly surpassed where he left off.
