Oct. 29—MITCHELL — The early season kickoff to the Dakota Wesleyan University basketball teams returns on Friday, with the inaugural CorTrust Classic taking place at the Corn Palace.
Eight teams will gather in Mitchell Friday and Saturday. The Tiger squads will host, featuring doubleheaders on Friday and Saturday nights to cap each day's action.
Play begins at 1 p.m. Friday with Concordia (Neb.) and Valley City (N.D.) State in a women's game, followed by Hastings (Neb.) against Valley City State in a men's contest. The DWU women will play William Penn (Iowa) at 5:30 p.m., followed by DWU's men against Bethany College of Kansas at 7:30 p.m.
The teams will be in action again on Saturday, with DWU playing both VCSU teams at 5:30 p.m. (women) and 7:30 p.m. (men).
DWU women's basketball coach Jason Christensen said the idea for the event came after talking with Concordia women's basketball coach Drew Olson. The Tigers will play in the Bulldogs' Cattle Classic next week for the second consecutive year on the women's side, playing nationally ranked teams in Seward, Nebraska.
