Athletics Website gets New Look The Dragon Athletics Department webpage, www.msumdragons.com, revealed a new look on Dec. 6, 2010. The updated website was designed by SIDEARM Sports, a website management company based out of New York, that specializes in athletics websites. “The new look of www.msumdragons.com was needed to improve the ever-changing needs of today’s information seekers,” Assistant Athletics Director for Media and Public Relations, NaDean Schroeder said. “The improved site is easier to navigate and provides more tools to help with the overall communications plan for the Athletics Department.” Included in the new design are a scores ticker, social media buttons, featured athletes, links to the Dragon Athletics Blog and other blogs that will be kept by individual sports. Dragon Athletics updates all social medias as well as daily website updates.

Scorch Goes Head-to-Head Against Cross-town Rivals
Hornbacher’s, Sodexo, CashWise, YWCA, Dorothy Day House
Raises money for Salvation Army Not only are MSUM’s student-athletes volunteering in Fargo-Moorhead, but Scorch the Dragon supported the Salvation Army’s Red Kettle Campaign in the third annual Mascot Challenge held Dec. 4.
All proceeds benefit the YWCA and The Dorothy Day House
In this year’s Challenge, Scorch went head-to-head-to-head with Thundar, North Dakota State’s Bison and Kernel, the Concordia College Cobber, at Scheels in Fargo. Although Scorch wasn’t the victor, the Dragons’ Red Kettle helped raise $4,400 for the Salvation Army.
Men's Basketball Locker Room Gets Facelift The men’s basketball locker room also got a facelift this past fall. The Dragons locker room features 15 lockers with steel nameplates, custom carpet and a 50-inch TV. “We are really happy with the way the locker room turned out,” Head Basketball Coach Chad Walthall said. “The overall look and improvements were a much needed upgrade that will help us in recruitment and camaraderie within the program.” The locker room was completed one week prior to the team opening the 2010-11 practice season and was unveiled to a group of alumni the day before opening.
