Sioux Center, Iowa — Dordt hopes to be the third team from the Great Plains Athletic Conference to take part in the NAIA football playoffs and that is why coach Joel Penner scheduled Saturday’s nonconference game at Panhandle State of Oklahoma.
The Defenders finished their fall season with a record of 7-2. Their only losses were by five to GPAC champion Morningside and eight to runner-up Northwestern.
Penner says they are treating this like a playoff game.
Penner believes they need another win to have a chance at the playoffs.
They will play a Panhandle State team that already has played three games this spring.
The playoff field will be released April 11th.
