The Lady Orediggers gave Montana Tech fans another great performance as they downed Montana Western 83-68 in non-conference action Thursday night at the HPER. Impressive individual stats were recorded by several players but the teams overall effort was maybe more of a sight to see. Tech bounded out to a 45-26 lead at half with the team shooting 55% behind the arc and 45% from the field while limiting Western to a mere 29%.
Brooke Pokorny, Meghan Eisenmann, and Taesha Higbee all hit double figures in scoring column. Along with Higbee’s 15 points, she also pulled down 11 rebounds to post a double-double. Pokorny was 3-3 from three point land and totaled 22 points in the contest while also accumulating four steals. Eisenmann tossed in 20 points on the night.
Tabitha Tomlinson and Kelsey DeWit both ended with 8 points. Tomlinson also dished out three assists and had a steal while DeWitt slammed back three blocked shots. Bryn Hasquet scored 7 points while Brette Rubie chipped in 3.

The Lady Orediggers are currently 8-3 for the season. All games have been non-conference with Frontier play not opening until 2011.
