North Dakota State guard Ben Woodside scored six points in the Hershey’s all-star game on Friday at Ford Field.

The all-star game for college seniors was played the day before the Final Four tips off in Detroit.

Woodside, playing for the Hershey’s All-Stars, came off the bench and played 17 minutes. He scored six points, shooting 1-for-6 from the field (0-for-3 from three-point range) and 4-for-4 from the free throw line. He had two rebounds, an assist and a steal.

The Reese’s All-Stars won the game 105-100, getting 17 points and 11 rebounds from Gonzaga’s Josh Heytvelt. Heytveldt hit a game-winning three-pointer in the final minute.

Dacotah Bank has signed on as a co-sponsor for the DAC Bowl.

The season-ending event set for Sunday, Nov. 8 at the Fargodome will feature all eight Dakota Athletic Conference teams squaring off in their regular-season finales.

"The Dakota Athletic Conference is grateful to Dacotah Bank for their willingness to partner with us to make this a special event for all conference members, their athletes, families, alumni and fans," DAC commissioner LaVern Jessen said. "We expect this event to be a great opportunity to showcase the outstanding football played in the DAC."

The games will count in the league standings, even though teams will be playing each other for the second time. The pairings for the four games will be set based on conference standings heading into the final week of the season.
