Brynley Fitzgerald scored 16 of the Bulldogs first 19 points on her way to a career-high 24 points in Montana Western's 62-48 win over MSU-Northern in the Frontier Conference quarterfinals. Despite Fitzgeralds hot start the Skylights were able to weather the storm and fought back, taking a three-point lead at the half. The Bulldog defense then shut down MSUN, holding them to just six points in the third quarter and out scored them by 14 to take an 11 point lead heading into the final ten minutes. The 11 point cushion was all the Bulldogs would need as they held on for the 14 point win.
