"Great showing for both teams yesterday, said Bulldog head coach Keiran President. "We had some slower starts but we were still able to go out and handle business."
The Bulldogs have a busy week upcoming, as they wrap up the regular season. They will travel to Emporia, Kan. on Monday to take on the Emporia State Hornets. They will go back on the road Wednesday to play Tabor College, then wrap up the week on Saturday with Senior Day against the Southwestern College Moundbuilders.
