Well, we just came off another successful weekend! Montana came to town last Thursday...and for all of you who don't know, Montana tends to be kind of a rival for us. There just seems to be tension in the air whenever they are around. The last time we saw them it was at their place...where we had our "usual" results. We ended up losing in four, and we just didn't play well while doing it. So, when they came to us, it was time to exact our revenge! And we did... We ended up beating them on our floor last Thursday in four. It was a great win for the bears. With the win we solidified our place in the conference standings. And I don't know that we are done yet with Montana this year. There is still a good chance we could play them at the tournament!
Montana State came in to play us on Saturday. We went five with them last time in Bozeman, so we made sure to be ready for them this time. The preparation paid off with a 3-0 win. Montana State had a rough go as we served really tough and kept the pressure on them the whole match.
We are now headed to Eastern Washington and Portland State this week. As of right now, Eastern is in third place with four losses on the year. Portland State and us are tied with first, each with two losses. It is going to be the battle of titans! We figured it out...if we can beat Portland State at home (a tall, but do-able task), we can afford one more loss and we would still be able to win the conference. If we lose to Portland State, we will more than likely take second place in conference (maybe third if we lose to both, but that won't happen).
However you look at it, this is going to be an exciting weekend of volleyball in the Big Sky.
OH! Forgot to mention that Taylor Smith was Co-Player of the week for the Big Sky. Sweet.
