The Northern Wolves take on the University of Sioux Falls Cougars on Gypsy Day. The Cougars were one of the top 5 teams in the country last year and Dosch thinks they will probably be in the same position this year. In other words, the Wolves will need to “play at a high level” and make plays “as we [they] get a chance to” in order to come out on top. “We always have a great crowd at Gypsy Day. Hopefully we’ll play off of that,” Dosch said. “What it comes down to is that we make plays at the right time.” If a decade of history is telling, #GypsyDay100 has a ‘W’ in its future.
