HELENA, Mont. - The (RV) Carroll Volleyball team will return to the court tonight in Dillon, Mont. tonight as they take on No. 19 Montana Western for the second time this season.

The Fighting Saints (12-4, 2-3) will look to once again even their Frontier Conference record tonight, taking on a Bulldog (10-5, 2-3) team that has been ranked as high as No. 13 in the coaches' poll.

Carroll continues to receive votes in the NAIA Volleyball Coaches' Poll, this week receiving 22 votes and sitting just outside of the nation's top-25 teams.

The Saints find themselves at 2-3 in conference play following the first of three laps around the league, and aim to start the second loop with a big road victory tonight. The Frontier is one of the most competitive leagues in the NAIA this season, with four teams inside the NAIA top-25, and Carroll sitting just outside. The 2-3 conference record for both Carroll and Western reflects the high-level of talent among the six Montana schools.

Coming into the evening, Carroll has only played one true road game, a 3-1 loss at Rocky Mountain College on Saturday. 

The Bulldogs and Saints met in Helena during Carroll's homecoming weekend, with Carroll earning a three-set sweep of the then-ranked No. 13 Bulldogs.

Dillon, with the exception of the 2023 season, has historically been a good place for the Saints to play. Carroll has won eight of the last 10 matchups between the two schools in Straugh Gymnasium dating back to 2015.

Tonight's game will be streamed live HERE, and live stats can be followed along HERE.
