“Dwight is an outstanding addition to our department and University.” Said Jones, He has a broad range of coaching experience at many different levels and we have no doubt that he will continue with HNU Athletics’ tradition of success both on the court and in the classroom.”

The men’s team will begin play in January, but the Lady Hawks begin their quest for a second straight conference championship Friday August 29, 2008 at Concordia University in Portland, Oregon against Northwest University.
