Griz Soccer at the Big Sky tournament
While it won't be happening on campus, be sure to tune in to Griz soccer's Big Sky Conference semifinal game at 7 p.m. on Friday night on ESPN+.

The Griz went unbeaten in Big Sky play this fall to win the league's regular-season title. Montana is playing as the No. 1 seed this week in Flagstaff, Arizona. A win on Friday would advance the Grizzlies to the title game, on Sunday at 1 p.m., also on ESPN+.

Looking Ahead
Basketball season officially opens next week, with the Lady Griz hosting Gonzaga (Monday, Nov. 6) and the Griz playing Northwest Indian College (Tuesday, Nov. 7). Gonzaga was an NCAA tournament team in 2023 and is currently receiving top-25 votes.

Season tickets start at just $79 for the women and $99 for the men. Mini plans (8 or 5 games) are also available, as are single-game tickets! Both the men and women were picked to finish in the top three of the Big Sky Conference preseason polls.
