Last Time Out

---

The Rocky women split their two road games last weekend, defeating Montana Western 67-48 on Thursday before falling to No.25-ranked Providence 68-53. 

In Rocky's victory over the Bulldogs, four Battlin' Bears finished in double figures, led by 19 points from Sydney Dethman on nine-of-ten shooting from the field. Paige Wasson added 17 points along with three steals, and Isabelle Heggem totaled 11 points with three blocks and seven rebounds. Rocky's 49.1% shooting percentage was their fourth-best in a game this season and the best in a conference matchup. 

A cold shooting second half allowed Providence to break away from the Battlin' Bears in the second half. Rocky combined to shoot zero-of-seven from three-point range in the second half. The Argos took the season series, 2-1, with their win, but the Rocky women still hold a one-game advantage over Providence in the Frontier Conference standings with four games to play in the regular season.

Final Home Stand
The Rocky women look to defend the Fortin Education Center for the final time this season, seeking season series sweeps against Montana Tech and MSU-Northern.  
Around the Frontier
The final four regular-season games will significantly impact seeding for the Frontier Conference Tournament, which begins March 2nd. Carroll College holds a two-game lead for the first seed and regular-season title, with the Battlin' Bears and Montana Tech tied for the second seed and a first-round bye in the tournament. Rocky already holds the season series tiebreaker over the Orediggers. Providence sits in fourth, a game behind Rocky and Montana Tech, while Montana Western and MSU-Northern remain tied for the fifth spot. 

Historical Dominance
The Rocky women have had the upper hand in matchups against Montana Tech and MSU-Northern. The Battlin' Bears have won 22 of the last 24 games against the Orediggers, including 12 straight wins in the Fortin Education Center. Against the Skylights, Rocky has won nine of the past ten games at home and has held a 20-5 record over MSU-Northern since the 2017-18 season. 

Scouting the Orediggers
Montana Tech's women have already had an outstanding season. The team, which was picked sixth in the Frontier Conference Preseason Coaches Poll, has received votes in the national poll throughout the conference schedule, and their 16 wins are the most in a season since 2016-17. Montana Tech has the second-best scoring offense in the Frontier, behind the Battlin' Bears. They average 63.6 points per game, led by Hadley Humphreys, who scores 13.4 points per game. 

Scouting the Skylights
MSU-Northern enters the weekend looking to snap a four-game losing skid, with their only conference victories coming against Montana Western, whom they match up with on Thursday evening in Havre. Canzas HisBadHorse continues to lead the Skylight offense, averaging 13.4 points per game and totaling double-figures in five of her last six games.
