Mustangs close out Skylights' amazing year
There is a saying that goes something like: All good things must
come to an end.
On Friday afternoon, in Jackson, Tenn., those words rang true for
the Montana State University-Northern women's basketball team, as
the No. 24 Skylights fell to No. 12 The Master's College, 67-62 in
the second round of the NAIA women's national tournament.

Streaking Skylights set to play in Sweet 16 today
Over the last two months, the Montana State University-Northern
women's basketball team has been a giant killer, knocking off
several nationally ranked teams.
The Skylights did it three times in the regular season, and, on
Wednesday, in the opening round of the 2006 NAIA national tournament
in Jackson, Tenn., they did it again when they beat No. 13 Oklahoma
Christian University, 82-68.

Skylights soar past Eagles; Sweet 16 up next
When it comes to postseason basketball, more times than not, seeding
means very little. It doesn't matter if its the NAIA or NCAA
tournament. On Wednesday afternoon at the Oman Arena in Jackson,
Tenn., the Montana State University-Northern Skylights proved that
theory correct as the sixth-seeded Skylights opened their NAIA
women's national tournament in rousing fashion by crushing the
third-seeded Oklahoma Christian Eagles 82-68. The win puts the No.
24 Skylights (20-9) into the NAIA Sweet 16 on Friday afternoon.

It's been a long road to Tennessee for MSU-N
On Wednesday afternoon, the Montana State University-Northern
Skylights will play in the NAIA women's national tournament for the
first time in five years. The Skylight program is one rich in
tradition, and over the years expectations by the school, its fans
and the community of Havre have been very high. But after what
happened to this Skylight team at the beginning of the 2005-06
season, no one could have expected or anticipated just how far the
Skylights would come.

A new meaning to the phrase ‘learning on the job'
Montana State University-Northern head women's basketball
coach Chris Mouat is like every other basketball coach in America.
He has a distinct passion for the game, and he loves to teach it. He
is competitive and driven and he instills those qualities in his
players. And on top of all that, he genuinely cares about his
student-athletes. However, Mouat's rookie season at the helm of one
of the Frontier Conference's most historic women's program's has
been anything but normal.

Skylights come up short against Western; NAIA tourney next?
BUTTE - All season long, the Montana State University-Northern
Skylights have played shorthanded. Their starters have played a ton
of minutes, and no matter how well-conditioned and resilient they
are, the Skylights have had an excuse to be a tired basketball team.
On Friday night in the semifinals of the Frontier Conference women's
basketball tournament in Butte, Northern clearly looked tired in its
heartbreaking 74-71 loss to the UM-Western Bulldogs.
