    George Ferguson|Updated Oct 18, 2014

    The Beauty of playing a 14-game conference schedule in Frontier Conference volleyball is this ... the league took a break at the halfway point, and the second half of the season can be looked at as a fresh start. And that's exactly how the Montana State University-Northern Skylights are looking at it. Northern, which went just 1-6 in league play through the first half of the season, emerges from the bye week to host the Lewis-Clark State Warriors tonight, and the Montana Tech... Full story

  • Griz, Cats return home

    George Ferguson|Updated Oct 17, 2014

    For the Montana State Bobcats, Saturday will hopefully be another day to keep the train rolling. For the Montana Grizzlies, it's time to start fresh. And both will look to do it in the friendly confines of their home stadiums. The No. 9 Bobcats (3-0, 5-2) will look to keep their high-octane offensive assault going when they host Weber State Saturday at Bobcat Stadium. Meanwhile, the No. 7 Grizzlies (2-0, 4-2) will emerge from a much-needed bye week to host struggling UC Davis...

    Chris Peterson|Updated Oct 10, 2014

    The start was sluggish for the Montana State University-Northern Lights in their season opener, but eventually, they played the kind of basketball you would expect to see from a team with aspirations of qualifying for the NAIA national basketball tournament come March. In a nonconference matchup against the University of Concordia of Canada, the Lights used a 25-4 run in the first half to take control of the game, then cruised to an easy 103-56 win inside the Armory Gymnasium... Full story

  • Chinook's Molyneaux heading to Rocky Mountain College

    Daniel Horton|Updated Apr 17, 2014

    It was never a question whether or not Chinook's Zach Molyneaux was going to play college football. It was simply a waiting game, as college coaches and fans patiently awaited his final destination for the next four years. That decision has been made, and it is safe to say that the NAIA, Frontier Conference Rocky Mountain Battlin' Bears have gotten a little bit better this offseason. Molyneaux is currently a senior for the Chinook Sugarbeeters, but he turned in four standout... Full story

    George Ferguson|Updated Jan 30, 2014

    The Montana State University-Northern Skylights and the University of Great Falls Argos find themselves in a unique position tonight in Great Falls.

    George Ferguson|Updated Sep 23, 2013

    Last month, the Montana State University-Northern Lights managed just 14 points in their season-opening, shutout win at Dickinson State. That’s 14 points in 60 minutes of football. In their rematch with the rival Blue Hawks, it took the Lights just under four minutes to equal that total.

  • MSU-Northern Game Day Notebook: Lights maintain great balance at home

    George Ferguson|Updated Sep 23, 2013

    Being a balanced offense in football can certainly give opposing defenses fits, and coming into the 2013 season, the Montana State University-Northern Lights looked like a team which had a chance to be that type of team. Saturday, MSU-N showed that it’s not just balanced on paper, the Lights showed they are for real. In a 49-24 win over Dickinson State Saturday at Blue Pony Stadium, the Lights rushed the ball 36 times for 276 yards. That’s pretty impressive. What’s even... Full story

  • Game Day feature: Varner lets his game do the talking

    George Ferguson|Updated Sep 20, 2013

    Cornerback is as flashy a position as there is in college football. And the job is quite simple. Cover speedy receivers trying to run by you, don’t let them get their hands on the ball, tackle any other ball carrier that comes your way. It’s a simple job in theory, but it’s considered one of the single most difficult positions to play. And that’s probably why star NFL corners get paid the really big bucks, and why those same stars are some of the flashiest, cockiest,... Full story

  • Homecoming: Lights rematch with Hawks

    George Ferguson|Updated Sep 20, 2013

The rematch is set for Saturday at 1 p.m. inside Blue Pony Stadium. The Lights... Full story

    George Ferguson|Updated Sep 20, 2013

    A rousing home win over Carroll College was a big start to the 2013 Frontier Conference volleyball season for the Montana State University-Northern Skylights. But things got much bigger Thursday night in Billings. The Skylights went into the Fortin Center Thursday night having not won there in seven years.

  • Coaching Corner: Eldridge's troops making a stand

    George Ferguson|Updated Sep 19, 2013

    For the past four seasons, Jake Eldridge has been the man in charge of the Montana State University-Northern defense. But in actuality, Eldridge was in charge of the Lights’ defense way before that. Before a knee injury forced Eldridge to move to wide receiver for his senior season, he was a standout defensive back for the Lights, playing on some of the greatest defenses the program has ever had. A shutdown corner with blazing speed, Eldridge originally went the University... Full story

Northern’s numbers were staggering. Derek Lear had his first 300-yard... Full story

Only this time, the Skylights will do it away from home. Tonight, Northern (11-4, 1-0) is in Billings to face the No. 24 Rocky Mountain College Battlin’ Bears (9-2, 1-0). And... Full story

  • Skylights gain more votes in NAIA poll

    George Ferguson|Updated Sep 18, 2013

    The goal for the Montana State University-Northern volleyball team is to take care of business at home. But opening up with rival, and NAIA power Carroll College doesn’t make that goal easy. However, the Skylights did in fact make it look easy as they defeated the Fighting Saints in four sets last Friday night at the Armory Gymnasium. With the win came an early 1-0 start to conference play, as well as Frontier Conference Player of the Week honors for senior hitter Abby... Full story
