North Star Athletic Association (NSAA)-(NAIA)
Overview: The Dickinson State University Blue Hawks finished undefeated at home at 5-0 on the way to finishing 6-1 in North Star Athletic Association play, and clinching the NSAA crown, with their lone league loss coming at the hands of a Waldorf team (5-5 overall in 2018) that finished tied with Valley City State (6-4 in 2018) at 5-2 in conference action.
In the NAIA playoffs, the Blue Hawks stunned then No. 5 Northwestern (Iowa) in a tight 14-6 defensive struggle in the first round, before losing a heartbreaker to then No. 6 Kansas Wesleyan in a 43-40 thriller in the quarterfinals. Dickinson State finished the 2018 season at 9-3 overall.
