Mayville, N.D. – The Mayville State University Women's Basketball team hosting #21 Dakota State Tuesday at the Lewy Lee Fieldhouse. Tip-off is scheduled for 6:00 PM against the Trojans.
 
With North Dakota Governor Doug Burgum's recent announcement of his plan to sign an amended executive order that will drop the COVID-19 risk level in the state from high to moderate and following the lead of the North Dakota High School Activities Association guidelines, Mayville State is raising spectator capacity for indoor athletic events. The university will now be allowing up to 550 people to attend games at the Lewy Lee Fieldhouse. Fans will be admitted on a first-come, first-served basis. The requirement to clear the gymnasium immediately following the women's basketball game on nights of double-headers will now be waived. Once admitted, fans may remain for all games.
