"I am extremely excited about the addition of this year's recruiting class. Brining in 43 athletes including 38 Freshmen and 5 transfers, gives us tremendous depth and talent across our entire program. We have added several dynamic transfer athletes who will make an immediate impact, along with several high school state champions and state place winners who bring a proven level of competitiveness and success," noted Dingman. "This is an outstanding addition to a team that is coming off a strong season, with our men finishing runner-up and our women placing fourth at the NSIC Championships. We believe this class has the talent, versatility, and competitive mindset to help us continue building on that success. Most importantly, these athletes fit what we are about at Northern State, developing great student-athletes, competing at a high level, and continuing to build a strong culture within our program," she continued.
