Back into the Conference Schedule
The Frontier Conference schedule went on hold for a two-week stretch, giving Rocky Volleyball the opportunity to host the Frontier/North Star Crossover Tournament. The Battlin' Bears went 2-1 in the tournament, winning over future conference opponents Valley City State and Mayville State. 

Service Excellence
The Battlin' Bears lead the Frontier Conference in service aces this season, totaling 133. Makenna Bushman's 33 total service aces leads the conference, while Madeline Gilder is tied for 6th with 22 this season. 

Career Accolades
Despite the four-set loss to MSU Billings on Tuesday night, a pair of seniors hit impressive career milestones. Makenna Bushman surpassed 1,400 kills in her career, moving her to second all-time in program history. Setter Blythe Sealey also recorded her 4,000th assist in her career, which ranks her fourth all-time in program history. 

Scouting the Saints
Carroll College enters Thursday's matchup with a 14-7 record overall and a 2-5 record in conference, tying the Battlin' Bears and MSU-Northern for fourth overall. During the off-week of conference play, the Saints traveled to Bellevue, Nebraska, defeating (RV) Ottawa University and Grand View University before dropping a four-set match against #7 Bellevue University. Libero Julia Carr continues to shine for the Fighting Saints, leading the NAIA in digs per set (6.96). 

Scouting the Skylights
The Skylights picked up some serious momentum in the Frontier/North Star crossover tournament, picking up a trio of three-set victories over Mayville State, Valley City State, and Dickinson State. Winners of four of their last five matches, the Skylights look to make a run in a wide-open Frontier Conference, led by senior Alana Graves, who ranks in the top 5 in the conference in kills, hitting percentage, and blocks.
