When Valley City State University women's basketball coach Jill DeVries looked at the matchup between her team and Dickinson State University Saturday and thought her team could have some fun in the paint.
"We thought we could do some things with our post players because we're probably a litle quicker," DeVries said.
So as the Blue Hawks trapped Valley City's guards, leaving post players open, the Vikings capitalized, getting 29 combined points from Brittany Lehner and Kelsey Hunter in an 81-59 win at W.E. Osmon Fieldhouse in the teams' first encounter this season.
As the Valley City State University mens basketball team left the floor following its 63-61 win over Dickinson State at W.E. Osmon Fieldhouse, there was only a hint of the normal joy that comes with victory.
More than anything, there was disappointment that what seemed a sure victory â a 10-point lead with two minutes left â was ultimately decided by a missed buzzer beating 3-pointer from Dickinson's Anthony Hodges, on an open look from the corner that would have sent the Blue Hawks away with the win.
The Legacy Place in Valley City opened with 25 residents in March 2009. Over three years later, it has nearly doubled in residents and tripled in services â and itâs still continuing to grow.
To accommodate for growth and better serve its residents, The Legacy Place, owned by Paul and Tanya Diegel, is reorganizing staff internally and seeking new staff.
Cami Hendrickson, who currently serves as the assisted living facilityâs business office manager will take on duties as the interim administrator, a position currently held by Tamie Gerntholtz.
Valley City State University President Steven Shirley had little trouble acknowledging the schoolâs recent success Monday, when he addressed students, faculty and community members during his annual State of the University address at Vangstad Auditorium. But that didnât keep him from looking to the near future.
âTo use the term âcrossroadsâ too often becomes cliche,â he told the crowd. âHowever, I sincerely believe we are at a crossroads at Valley City State University, and with this crossroad, we have a unique opportunity to transform our educational offerings.â
