The GPAC is rich in tradition, and is always a deep and tough league. The 2018-19 season was no exception to that tradition. While Morningside won the regular season title, they were beaten by Jamestown in the GPAC Tournament championship game. The GPAC had four teams (Morningside, Jamestown, Briar Cliff, Dakota Wesleyan) qualify for the NAIA DII National Tournament. All four made it out of the first round, with Morningside and Briar Cliff both making it to the National Quarterfinals before getting beat.
