Skylights fall at Frontier tourney
The Frontier Conference tournament was a microcosm of the entire 2003 season
for the Montana State University-Northern volleyball team. The Skylights
played their best match of the season to upset University of Montana-Western
to open the tournament, but then were plagued by a few inconsistent
moments...
Nov. 14, 2003 Skylights
face Western in conference tourney
Montana State University-Northern volleyball coach Lisa Handley is hoping
that the old adage - a team that has nothing to lose has everything to gain
-is true. Her team really does have nothing to lose as it prepares for the
first round of the Frontier Conference volleyball tournament in Butte. The

spikers wrap up regular season with pair of conference losses
It wasn't the memories that Montana State University-Northern volleyball
head coach wanted for her seniors in their last home matches of their
career. Although the trio of seniors turned in stellar performances, it
wasn't enough, as the Skylights were swept in a pair of Frontier Conference
matches.

host Rocky, Carroll in final home matches of the season
In the grand scheme of things -particularly the Frontier Conference
standings - the pair of conference volleyball matches the Montana State
University-Northern volleyball team will host this weekend mean very little.
Conference matches meaning little? Kind of. Win or lose, Northern will
finish in...

split conference road games
The Montana State University-Northern volleyball team got a much needed win
this past weekend with a convincing 30-22, 30-24, 30-27 decision over the
Westminster College Griffins in Salt Lake City
Oct. 23, 2003 Skylights
sweep series with UGF
The Montana State University-Northern volleyball team learned something on
Wednesday night. The Skylights can finish teams off with a lead, even when
they aren't playing perfectly. Northern shook off a minor distraction from
the opposing coach, a sloppy second game and plenty of unforced of errors
...
Oct. 22, 2003 Skylights,
Argos out to snap losing streaks
Mired in a four-match losing streak, tonight's home match against the
University of Great Falls would seem like the perfect cure the Montana State
University-Northern's recent spate of losing. But when you have just two
wins in the Frontier Conference, you can't overlook a team that has one
fewer...
Oct. 17, 2003 Skylights
face two of Frontier's top teams in Montana Tech, Lewis-Clark St.
As the Montana State University-Northern volleyball team prepared for
tonight's match against Frontier conference-leader Montana Tech, Skylights
head coach Lisa Handley mentioned that last year conference-leading
UM-Western strolled into the MSU-Northern gymnasium with an undefeated
record in conferece...

vs. RMC in important match
How important is tonight's Montana State
University-Northern volleyball match with Rocky Mountain College? Important
enough that Skylights head coach Lisa Handley took her team to Billings on
Thursday to make sure they are well rested for the key Frontier Conference
match.

spikers salvage weekend split
There are two viable reactions from an emotionally draining loss. You can
let it eat at your insides, fester in your mind and let it disturb you into
playing poorly the next time out

Oct. 3, 2003 Skylights
face must-win games vs. UM-W
It's strange to say that the Montana State
University-Northern volleyball team is already facing must-win matches, just
one match into the conference season. But for head coach Lisa Handley, the
matches are must-win because she considers them "can-win" matches..
Sep. 30, 2003 Skylights win Medicine Hat

The Montana State University-Northern volleyball team continued its
solid play by winning the Medicine Hat Rattler Invitational volleyball
tournament.

spikers silence Argos
GREAT FALLS - Montana State University-Northern volleyball coach Lisa
Handley isn't a chemist. But she would happily take all of the intensity,
emotion and aggression her team played with Wednesday night and bottle it up
for future use. The Skylights played perhaps their best match of the season
in ...

take on rival Argos
There isn't as much a dislike between the Montana State
University-Northern and University of Great Falls volleyball
teams. Rather it's a general dislike of losing to the other. The
Skylights and Argos renew their Frontier Conference rivalry
tonight when they hook up at the McLaughlin Center in Great...
Sep. 22, 2003 Skylights
drop opening Frontier matches
Playing on the road in the Frontier Conference is never easy. Playing
without your two best passers and the rest of your team beset by the flu can
be almost impossible. The Montana State University-Northern volleyball team
tried to tackle the impossible this weekend. However, a gutsy and
undermanned...
Sep. 19, 2003 Skylights
open Frontier schedule
The preseason that seemed to be taking forever for the Montana State
University-Northern volleyball team is now a memory. The Skylights open the
Frontier Conference as they travel to Butte today to take on the Montana
Tech Orediggers at 7 p.m. at the HPER Complex on the Montana Tech campus.
While he...

spikers finish 2-2 at Skylights Invitational
With the Frontier Conference schedule looming a
week away, Montana State University-Northern volleyball coach Lisa Handley
knows there isn't much more time for her team to find some consistency

Skylights in search of wins at own tourney
The athleticism, the ability and the attitude are there. All the
Montana State University-Northern volleyball team needs are the wins
go with them. The Skylights, 2-7 on the season, have been in just
about every match they've played this season. But the wins haven't
come for any number of reasons...
Sept. 8, 2003 Skylights
go 1-3 at RMC Invitational
Montana State University-Northern head coach Lisa Handley knows
there will be bumps in the road. With a team still searching for
an identity and experience, her Skylights hit a few along the way
this weekend as they finished 1-3 at the Rocky Mountain College
Invitational volleyball tournament in Bil...

The only definite for the Montana State University-Northern

face. The Skylights travel to Billings today for the Rocky
Mountain College Invitational volleyball tournament, and like at
last weekend's Skylights Invitational, Northern won...
Sept. 2, 2003: Skylights
go 1-3 at own tourney
Montana State University-Northern head volleyball coach Lisa
Handley knew going into this weekend's Skylights Invitational her
team would make some mistakes. There always are mistakes in the
first matches of the year. But she was more interested in how her
young team would react to those mistakes.
Aug. 28, 2003 Skylights
host Invite to start season
After two weeks of summer practice and the first scrimmage, one
thing is certain for the Montana State
University-Northern volleyball team - it can't afford to not play
aggressively. Not in this weekend's Skylight invitational, not for
a match, not for game, not for a single play because, with
their...
