The tournament features four Montana teams with Carroll, Montana Tech, Montana Western, and Providence in the field. All seven of the tournament’s matches will be available live on SWX.The Bellevue Bruins (24-4, 20-2) locked up the top seed in the tournament and clinched a spot to the NAIA national tournament after going 20-2 in Frontier Conference play during the regular season. The 12th ranked Bruins will face Dickinson State (9-20, 8-14) in the opening round.Since the Bruins have already clinched a spot in the NAIA tourney so if they make the Frontier title game then whoever they face will grab the Frontier’s second automatic bid to the national tournament.The Montana Tech Orediggers (22-6, 17-5) will be taking on the Bismarck State Mystics (13-14, 11-11).The Orediggers have won two regular season Frontier titles in recent years but they have only been crowned Frontier Tournament champions once since 1990 with their lone title coming in 2017.Next up, we’ll look at the only pairing of Montana teams in the opening round with the four-seed Providence (20-9, 14-8) taking on the five-seed Montana Western (15-14, 14-8).The Providence Argos are the defending champs and they've won the Frontier tourney six times since 2018. It was recently announced that Providence will be closing its doors at the end of the school year so this will be the final Frontier tournament for the Argos and possibly the final time we see the Argos volleyball team but who knows maybe the Argos will get their storybook finish by winning the tournament championship and punching their ticket to the national tournament one last time.Last up we have the 3-6 pairing featuring Dakota State (19-9, 16-6) vs the hometown Carroll College Fighting Saints (19-10, 14-8) who landed the six spot.The Saints and Trojans split their regular season meetings with the home team winning each match so home court advantage could be a factor for the Saints.Carroll's Lauren Heuiser leads the Frontier in points this season so she'll be a player to watch when the Saints take on the Trojans Thursday night in the opening round.</div></body>
