BISMARCK, ND – For the first time since November 2019, the University of Mary football team will have the opportunity to face someone in a different jersey when the Marauders host Northern State University in a joint practice on Saturday, March 27. The matchup begins at 2 pm at the MDU Resources Community Bowl.
The Marauders-Wolves joint practice is free and open to the public. All spectators are asked to practice social distancing and wear face coverings, per Northern Sun and NCAA guidelines.
The joint practice is scheduled to continue until 5 pm and features 36 periods of activities, ranging from pregame stretching routines to positional competitions to full-scale live 11-on-11 action.
Drills will be conducted across the field. During the opening pre-practice flex stretching period the Marauders will occupy their traditional space on the west side of the field. Team activities between the Marauders and the Wolves will start on both 35 yard lines, with the Marauders offense and the Wolves defense on the west side of the field and the Marauders defense and the Wolves offense on the east side.
During competitive positional drills, the offensive and defensive linemen occupy the west end zone, the running backs and linebackers face off from midfield on the visitors sideline and the quarterbacks/receivers/defensive backs battle on the eastern section of the gridiron.
This is the first of three joint practices for the Marauders. UMary will work against Bemidji State on April 10 before hosting MSU Moorhead on April 17.
