The Saints responded and won a back and forth battle 25-23 to tie the match at 1-1.
 
The third set was almost point-for-point throughout, but the Battlin' Bears closed the set with a four-set run to earn a 25-20.
 
In the fourth set, the Bears jumped to an 8-2 lead, but the Saints battled back to tie the game at 19. The two teams again tied at 22 before RMC closed out the set with a three-point run to win 25-22 and close out the 3-1 win.
 
Carroll closes out the regular-season 15-12 overall and 8-4 in Frontier Conference play. The Saints will open the Frontier Conference Championship Friday against MSU-Northern at the PE center in Helena.
