The Saint Martin’svolleyball team returns to action tonight at Marcus Pavilion to take on Montana-State Billings at 7:00 PM. The Saints are currently in sixth place in the GNAC at 2-2, a half game behind the 3-2 Yellowjackets.
Saint Martin’s is coming off a split on the road last weekend. Nationally ranked Western Washington dispatched the Saints in straight sets on Thursday night and it looked bleak on Saturday down two sets to Simon Fraser, but the Saints rallied and pulled off a comeback victory in Burnaby, British Columbia to run their overall record to 4-5. Tonight’s game is just the third home game of the season for the Saints.
MSU-Billings has won six of the last eight matches but saw their three game winning steak come to an end in a thrilling three set match that went to extra points in each, 24-26, 29-31, 28-30. The Yellowjackets are 6-7 overall.

Denver led 34-15 ten minutes into the bout and a 19-0 jam for Hearher Juska increased the Denver lead to 53-24. But Atomatrix and On Da Sligh answered with 14-0 and 20-0 jams and Oly scored 51 unanswered points to take a 75-53 lead and eventually took an 88-77 point lead into halftime.
After falling behind 104-89 early in the second half, Denver tied the bout 108-108 with about twenty minutes left to play and led by nine with twelve minutes left to play. But a 25-0 Atomatrix jam gave turned the half around for Oly and gave them a 152-136 lead that they wouldn’t relinquish.
Both teams move on to the WFTDA Championships in Atlanta beginning on November 2nd. By winning the west region, the Oly Rollers earn a first round bye.
