Northern host Class ABC all-star tourney
The high school
volleyball season may be over, but that doesn't mean you can get one last
fill of crushing kills, soft sets and difficult digs. The Montana
State University-Northern volleyball program and head coach Lisa Handley
will once again be holdings its annual Class ABC all-star volleyball
tournament on Saturday at the MSU-Northern gymnasium.

Skylights finish third at Frontier Conference tournament
The Montana State University-Northern volleyball team ended its season with
a win, which is something that many teams can't say. However, the Skylights
would rather have had that win come in the Frontier Conference tournament
championship game, instead of the consolation game.

Skylight spikers face UM-Western yet again in Frontier Tourney
The third time may have been the charm for
UM-Western against the Montana State University-Northern volleyball team,
but what is the fourth time going to be? The Skylights and Bulldogs
will meet yet again - the second time in as many weeks - in the opening
round of the Frontier Conference Volleyball Tournament, today at 3 p.m.

Skylights salvage conference split; finish tied for third with Rocky
At this rate, Montana State
University-Northern volleyball coach Lisa Handley is going to either have a
head full of gray hairs or premature heart problems in another week.
Her Skylights, yet again, took her through a roller coaster of emotions in a
weekend split of conference matches. Northern, which has played more
five-game matches than anyone else in the Frontier, added two more to its
total over the weekend.

Skylights host final home matches with third place on the line
Superstitions aside, Montana
State University-Northern volleyball head coach Lisa Handley doesn't believe
in, or at least want to hear about old coaches' sayings. Particularly,
"The toughest thing to do in sports is beat the same team three times in one
season." "Don't even say it," Handley said when the adage was about to
be brought up. "We're not thinking about things like that. Don't jinx us."

Skylights defeat UGF in five; avenge earlier home loss
When everything is going right, the Montana State University-Northern
volleyball team has the talent and weapons to get up early on teams and put
them away. Northern played its fifth five-game match of the
season, outlasting UGF in a 27-30, 30-22, 25-30, 30-25, 15-12 marathon win
to move to 6-6 in the Frontier Conference and within a half game of Rocky
Mountain College, which sits third in the league standings.

Skylights ready to face Argos
As much as
they would like to forget it, the Montana State University-Northern
volleyball team and head coach Lisa Handley can't put their 30-21, 30-23,
30-18 loss to the University of Great Falls a month ago out of their minds.
But maybe that's not a bad thing. It certainly offers a little motivation
for the Skylights in tonight's match against the Argos at 7 p.m. at the
McLaughlin Center in Great Falls.

Skylights' perfect record in five-game matches snapped
It had to happen at some point.
The Montana State University-Northern volleyball team couldn't possibly stay
perfect in five-game matches. But head coach Lisa Handley wasn't exactly
happy with how it transpired. The Skylights fought back to face a
fifth and deciding game against Lewis-Clark State in Lewiston, Idaho, only
to see their passing break down and fall to the Warriors 31-29, 30-22,
28-30, 24-30, 15-7.

In a season filled with skyscraping peaks and subterranean valleys, the
Montana State University-Northern volleyball team's 30-20, 29-31, 13-30,
22-30 loss to Rocky Mountain College three weeks ago, might have been the
lowest point of the season.

Skylights complete weekend conference sweep
The Montana State
University-Northern volleyball team hasn't exactly been dominant in road
matches this season. But it looks like things are about to change. The
Skylights swept a pair of Frontier Conference road matches for the first
time since head coach Lisa Handley can remember.
"It's huge to get two road wins in conference," Handley said. "I can't
remember the last time a Northern team won both road matches in conference
on a weekend."

Skylights hit the road to face Westminster, UM-Western
One day of driving and one day of sitting around, topped off with a match in
a gym roughly the size of a shoebox. It's not exactly the most enjoyable
start to the longest road trip on the Montana State University-Northern
volleyball team's schedule.

After a pair of emotion-filled, exhausting and exciting conference wins this
past weekend, another match today would seem like the perfect time for a
letdown from the Montana State University-Northern volleyball team. Except
for one thing, the Skylights opponent is the University of Great Falls.

No place like home
Maybe it's the opportunity to sleep in their own beds. Maybe it's the
opportunity to play in front of family and friends. Maybe it's the
ear-splitting music and rowdy atmosphere in the Montana State
University-Northern gymnasium.
