Montana Tech and UM Western have been looking to break into the win column in Frontier Conference play and few predicted they would do so. The Bulldogs of Western snapped a Frontier win dry spell that dates back to 2008 – or 30 conference matches ago. Montana Tech saw a glimpse of hope in a convincing third set where they dominated the game, winning by a 15 point margin. Nevertheless, Western controlled the tempo in the final and fourth set to claim the win for the night.
Shersteen Cline led the Digger offense with 11 kills in the match while Kiara Ross and Michelle Hardy dished out 13 and 17 assists, respectively. Ross and Hardy also led the team in digs, tallying 11 and 15 respectively. Lacey Phelan hit well for the night accumulating a .429 hitting percentage. Korey Krumm led Montana Tech at the net defensively with 4 “stuff” blocks.
The Lady Diggers return to the HPER for more volleyball action when LC State returns to finish a contest delayed due to a power outage earlier this month. The game is scheduled to be continued on October 12th at 2 pm.
Montana Western def. Montana Tech 25-17, 25-18, 10-25, 25-20
