Missoula, Mont – After a gutsy win against Eastern Washington on Friday afternoon, Northern Colorado looks ahead to Sunday when they take on the Grizzlies of Montana.
UNC's win came off the heels of their first back-to-back losses at home and dropping them into a tight race to qualify for the Big Sky Tournament.
Friday's win vaulted them into a tie for fifth place and a mere two points behind Eastern Washington and Montana for third place, meaning each team will be extra motivated for Sunday's matinee.
Montana has won two consecutive games, defeating Southern Utah 2-0 in Cedar City and North Dakota at home, 1-0.
Northern Colorado owns the all-time record between the two schools with a mark of 6-5-1. However, each of the last five seasons, whoever held home field advantage came away as the victor.
