Rocky Volleyball Falls to #10 Montana Tech in Five Sets; Enters Conference Tournament as the Third Seed

BILLINGS, Mont.- The Battlin' Bears battled back and forth with the Orediggers Sunday afternoon, but 10th ranked Montana Tech came out on top in a five set slugfest. 

The first set went back and forth, as Madeline Gilder spiked a service ace to give Rocky a 21-20 lead. The Orediggers went on a 5-2 run to hold a 24-22 lead, but Rocky responded with a run of their own, coming back to take the first set 26-24. 

Montana Tech took an early lead in the second set and never gave it up, taking a 25-17 victory to tie things up at one set each. 

The Battlin' Bears struggled in sets two and three, hitting -.091 in the second set and only .109 in the third set with a combined 15 attack  errors as they trailed entering the fourth sets. 

A quick run to begin the fourth set defined the set for the Battlin' Bears, as Rocky jumped out to a 12-4 lead. Their lead would never be in question, as they cruised to a 25-19 fourth set victory to lead the match to a fifth set. 

Both teams traded points to start, but the Orediggers rattled off a 6-0 run to take an 11- 6 lead, which proved to be too much to overcome for the Battlin' Bears. 

Montana Tech outhit the Battlin' Bears .119 to .101, with 63 kills compared to Rocky's 45. 

The Battlin' Bears were led by 12 kills and eight digs from Makenna Bushman, 10 kills (.562%)  and seven blocks from Rhiannon Nez, and 36 assists and eight digs from Blythe Sealey. 

After finishing the regular season with back to back losses, the Battlin' Bears will enter this week's Frontier Conference Tournament and will face off against the sixth seeded Carroll College Fighting Saints on Friday, November 10th at 1:00pm.
