The Oredigger Volleyball team is one week away from Frontier Conference regular season play. Before they jump into the regular season, they do have one tournament remaining, the Frontier Conference Preseason Tournament.
The Frontier Conference Preseason Tournament will be held in Dillon on the campus of Montana Western at Straugh Gymnasium. All six Frontier Conference teams will be in attendance, and everyone will play four games spread over three days. (Thursday, Friday, and Saturday)
