HELENA, Mont. - The Carroll College Basketball teams will see a pair of traditional Frontier foes for the first time this season, heading North for road games at MSU-Northern on Friday and Providence on Saturday, with both doubleheaders featuring 5 p.m. Women's tips followed by the Men at 7 p.m.

While the Fighting Saints are technically at the true halfway point of the 22-game Frontier Conference slate, this weekend will cap the true final lap through conference play. Both the Women (11-6, 9-2) and Men (12-4, 10-1) have played 11 league games, but have fully completed their season series with Bismarck State and Dickinson State.

This weekend's trip up I15 will be the latest first meetings between Carroll and both MSU-Northern and Providence since the 2011-12 season (CC vs MSU-N, 1.19.12 | CC vs UGF, 1.21.12).

Both the Carroll Men and Women are appearing in the receiving votes portion of their respective Coaches' Polls, sliding out of the rankings since the previous poll nearly one month ago (December 17, 2025). The Women made a slight fall in the ranks, sliding back from No. 24 with 117 votes in the last poll, to 92 votes this week - the top receiving votes mark in the nation. The Carroll Men fell much further, slipping from No. 15 into the middle of the RV pack following a trio of losses to teams either in the ranks or receiving votes over the last month. 

Regardless of rank, both teams remain firmly in contention for the Frontier Conference crown, as the Men sit atop the league standings at 10-1, and the Women sit just one game back, tied in a log-jam for second place at 9-2.

The Women enter the weekend with two wildly different recent histories against each school. The Saints have won 19 games in-a-row over the Skylights, a streak that dates back to January of 2020, and are winners of 16 of the last 17 meetings in the all-time series. Providence has given Carroll fits in recent seasons, however, owning a 6-4 advantage in the last 10 meetings. Of those 10 contests, four games have taken place in the postseason.

On the Men's side of the action, Carroll will put a seven-game win streak on the line against the Lights in Havre. Outside of a three-game sweep by MSU-N in 2022-23, the Saints have won 16 of the last 19 meetings. Saturday evening, the Saints will look to get their revenge on an Argonaut team that brought their season to a close in the semifinals of last year's Frontier Conference Championship.
