Wednesday marks the return to Kelvin Sampson Court for the Montana Tech Women's Volleyball Team as they prepare to host Montana-Western Wednesday evening in their 2026 home opener but the way they've opened the season it appears they're good to go on any floor.  The football team, on the other hand, has 2 home games under their belt and are looking good as they prepare for Saturday's first road game of the season, coincidentally also against Montana Western.  Here's a look at what the Orediggers have coming up.
