The Lady Diggers final two regular home and conference games had a lot riding on them. Beating Carroll would mean their third place ranking would stick and they would get a first round playoff game early the following week. If they beat both Carroll and Rocky, Montana Tech’s chances of receiving an at large bid to the NAIA National Tournament would be significantly larger. After defeating Carroll 62-54 and being edged 71-67 by the Battlin’ Bears, the Frontier Conference Tournament may be the Lady Diggers only chance of returning to the National Tournament.
Freshman Kelsey Dewit had a strong weekend posting 32 points, 19 rebounds, and 5 blocks shots over the two conference contests. Taesha Higbee continued her tradition of big numbers by tossing in 27 points and pulling down 21 boards over the weekend. Freshman Bryn Hasquet also had a big night offensively against Rocky Mountain when she scored 18 points through 3 point shots and second chance put back inside the paint.
The Lady Orediggers finish third in the Frontier Conference with a record of 8-6 and 19-10 overall. Tech will host the Lady Bulldogs of Montana Western Tuesday evening for the first round of the Frontier Conference Tournament.
