One would be good, but two would be even better. The Montana State

Skylights fall to league-leading Carroll
The Skylights did everything they could do to beat the conference-leading
Saints, but in the end it still wasn't quite enough. Carroll's senior

on the season.

The Carroll College P.E. Center might not be the toughest place to play in
the Frontier Conference, but it is far from the easiest. To put it simply,
Carroll basketball teams just don't lose there.

sweep weekend games with nearly flawless performance
It's been a long wait. The players and coaches of the Montana State
University-Northern women's basketball team have been waiting about 25 games

There will be a little different look to the Montana State
University-Northern women's basketball team. No, the Skylights don't have

take to the floor tonight against Montana Tech.

half of conference kicks off for Skylights

To put it simply, Saturday night will be different for the Montana State
University-Northern basketball teams. Everything will move up a level. The
defense will be just a little tighter, each rebound will be fought for a
little harder, getting each shot off will be a little tougher because each
game means a little more.
