The MSU-Northern Skylights women's basketball team started with 10 new faces on the roster including 8 freshmen. With only 5 returnees from Erickson's first year squad, the Skylights were once again building a new foundation for the future. The 2003-04 season ended with the Skylights losing in the semi finals of the Frontier Conference Tournament. Coach Mike Erickson's Skylights finished the season 21-13 overall and 9 5 in Frontier Conference play. After a slow 3-4 start in the conference, the Skylights fought back to record a 6-1 finish and earned a 1st round home playoff game, in which the Skylights defeated the upstart University of Great Falls Lady Argos 78-71.

The Skylights lose two seniors, Anna Bateman, and Khadigha Mohamed, but the future looks very bright. Coach Erickson feels positive about the improvements and the direction of the team. Although there were many peeks and valleys throughout the season, the Skylights took it upon themselves to bond, and most importantly, play together as a team. "Fine tuning" and "fundamentals" will be the two key words for the Skylight's offseason. The players are here, the crowds are back, and all the Skylights have to do now is WIN!
