Skylights hit the road for Frontier-North Star Challenge

The Montana State University-Northern volleyball team will get back at it this weekend.

After a scrimmage against Medicine Hat College last Friday in Havre, the Skylights (3-4) return to preseason action with the Frontier-North Star Challenge Friday and Saturday in North Dakota.

Northern, which is led offensively by Alyssa Pretty Weasel, former Havre Blue Pony Jessa Chvilicek and others thus far, will start the tournament off on Friday against Mayville State at 11 a.m.. The Skylights then face old rival Dickinson State Friday at 4 p.m. to wrap up day one of the tourney.

On Saturday, MSU-N takes on host Valley City State at 11 a.m., followed by the final match against the University of Winnipeg Saturday at 1:30 p.m.

Northern has two weeks left in the preseason. The Skylights are in Dillon next week for the Frontier Preseason Tournament. First though, the Skylights will play four matches this weekend in Valley City, North Dakota.
