Box Score HAVRE, Mont.- Light the V! The Orediggers made the trip to Havre to extinguish the Lights 3-1 (25-19, 25-18, 20-25, 25-19).

Winning in the Armory is not an easy task. A year ago Montana Tech was 2-1 against the Skylights, winning at home and at a neutral site (Dillon), but the Lights got the win in the Armory. So the Orediggers board the bus back home, packing a little revenge from a year ago, and more importantly, packing up a conference win.

The first set was a back-and-forth battle with the teams getting to 16-all before the Orediggers blew the doors off. The Orediggers went on a 7-0 run to jump out to a 23-16 win. Senior Megan Benton accounted for three kills in those seven points.

Montana Tech controlled the second set from the start, leading by as much as eight. The Orediggers hit .195 in the second set and finished with 13 kills in the frame. The defense at the net was also solid in the second, as Tech stuffed four blocks.

Northern's offense got on track in the third set, going up 9-5 early, and ending the set on an 8-3 run to send the match to the fourth.

Montana Tech would win the first point of the fourth, and never look back. Northern would never have a lead in the fourth, and the Orediggers would go on to take the set and match.

The Orediggers (7-5, 1-1 conf.) were led by Megan Benton with 16 kills.
