If Tech beats Northern, Carroll beats Providence, and Western takes down Rocky, there would be a four-way tie for second place. Not even remotely out of the realm of possibilities.
Somehow, we only have one game left in the Frontier Conference regular season, and equally surprising the final game will not affect conference standings no matter what happens.
In a game that would see a lead of no larger than eight points throughout 40 minutes of regulation, it was missed free-throw opportunities by Montana Tech that would force an overtime period against Carroll College. And it was a shooting clinic from the foul line and beyond that the Orediggers would put on in overtime to seal an 87-78 Frontier Conference victory and the regular season conference title.
Montana Technological University is hosting a summer Metallurgical and Materials Engineering camp for High School students. The camp will be held on the Campus of Montana Tech from June 18th – June 23, 2023.
The ‘Wild Frontier’ certainly lived up to its billing last night.
On the women’s side, the top 3 teams ran away with their respective games. Rocky took down Providence at home 61-44, Carroll stormed into the Armory and rolled Northern 59-36, and last but not least, the Bulldogs of UM Western put together a solid 40 minutes in Butte to walk away with a 71-47 win.
Senior forward Brynley Fitzgerald had 26 points and Montana-Western used a 15-4 mid first-half run to propel the Bulldogs to a 71-47 Frontier Conference victory over the Montana Tech Orediggers Thursday night at Kelvin Sampson Court.
With the unbalanced schedule in the Frontier, the Diggs have already played Western twice at Straugh, and Thursday will be the Bulldog’s lone trip to Butte this year.
