The current decade has belonged to NDSU as they won all 7 of their National Championships. The last team other than them to win it all was JMU in 2016 who beat Youngstown State, but in the semifinals they beat NDSU. The 2017 season saw the Dukes meet the Bison in Frisco for the title only for the Bison to come away victorious.

Was at dinner tonight and ran into 8 NDSU folks. Spoke with them for awhile. They are excited for the game but lacked confidence.
