MISSOULA — Thursday night’s five-set grind over Gonzaga was good for Montana volleyball as it prepared them for the tight matches they are likely to encounter in Big Sky Conference play.

Friday afternoon’s three-set sweep of Seattle U was good for plenty of other reasons as the Grizzlies capped off a historic non-conference schedule.

The win extends Montana’s winning streak to eight as they enter Big Sky Conference play next week as one of the hottest teams in the country.

Montana rolled over Seattle (6-6) in straight sets winning 25-21, 25-12, 25-20. The offense has stolen the show during the winning streak but it was the defense that led the Grizzlies to victory on Friday as they held Seattle to just .026 hitting on the day.
