HELENA, Mont. - The No. 11 Carroll College Women's Basketball team will host No. 22 Rocky Mountain College this afternoon at 2 p.m. in Helena at the Carroll College PE Center with the chance to clinch the outright Frontier Conference title.
The Fighting Saints (21-5, 12-1), will have to overcome one of the two other Frontier schools currently ranked in the NAIA Coaches' Poll, No. 22 Rocky Mountain College (18-7, 10-3) in order to lock up the title this afternoon.
The Saints have already guaranteed themselves at least a share of the Frontier Conference championship after their victory over Montana Tech in Butte on Thursday. A win in either of their final two conference games will wrap up the season-long title for the Saints.
Each team has won on their home court in the two games played between the two schools this season. Rocky held off a late Carroll run in Billings last month, while Carroll dominated the last matchup in Helena.
Kyndall Keller (Havre, Mont. / JR) had a terrific game on Thursday, scoring 18 points off the bench in her first action since sustaining a lower leg injury late last month.
Kamden Hilborn (Clancy, Mont. / GR), already the program's all time assist leader, has the opportunity to end her career as Carroll's all-time assists per game leader as well. Hilborn needs to average five assists per game over the final stretch of the season to secure the accomplishment.
Today's game is a celebration of 50 years of Title IX, all female students K-12 are invited to come to the game free of charge.
In addition, today is the final Fighting Saints Food Pantry food drive game of the season, and fans planning on attending are encouraged to donate any non-perishable food item to help the Student-Athlete Advisory Council stock the shelves.
Today's game will be broadcast on SWX, and will be streamed live on the
Fighting Saints Network: presented by Point S Tire & Auto Service. Live stats can be found
