Opportunity aheadStudy ready for strong second half

BY BILL FOLEYof The Montana Standard

Don’t tell Matt Study there’s nothing left to play for.While some might see despair in the fact that MontanaTech football team’s five-game losing streak means the

Orediggers won’t end Tech’s six-year playoff drought, thesenior left guard sees an opportunity.

“It’s a great kickoff for next year,” Study says of Tech’s finalfive games. “We (the seniors) want to be a part of that, too. Wewant to finish out as strong as we can.”

After starting the season with a thrilling double-overtimewin over non-conference foe Southern Oregon, the Orediggerslost to every other Frontier Conference team to fall to

1-5 overall and 0-5 in conference.Study says the Orediggers aren’t feeling sorry for them-

selves. The leaders on the team would never let that happen.“It’s not that we’ve seen a whole lot of individual guys

really being down and completely tuned out,” Study says.“We’re just going through and reminding guys, ‘Stay in this.Do this for the rest of the seniors.’

“Everybody wants to finish 6-5, and it’s a good way to startout for next year, too,” Study says. “Nobody wants to be theteam coming in when everybody is ‘Oh, they were 1-10 lastyear. They don’t have it.’”

Study says the 1-5 is hard to swallow because he knows histeam had a chance to win every game this season.

“Every game is just one, two, three plays,” he says. “That’sbeen the story of every game this year. We’ve been in everysingle game.

“Obviously the score in Western kind of shows that we gotkilled. That’s just to outsiders. Everybody that was thereknows that they’re beatable. Carroll’s beatable, Rocky’s beatable. They’re all beatable.

“Eastern (Oregon), especially, is beatable this weekend.We’re excited to go knock them out of the playoffs.”

The 6-foot-4, 280-pound Study (pronounced Stewdy) is aproduct of the Flathead Braves in Kalispell.

Stopping Ware, Sampson key for ’DiggersBY BILL FOLEY

of The Montana Standard

If Montana Tech is going to get back towinning ways, the Orediggers willhave to at least slow down Eastern

Oregon stars Chris Ware and KevinSampson Saturday at CommunityStadium.

The game, which starts at 1 p.m. in La Grade, Ore., (2 p.m. Mountain Time)is homecoming for the Mountaineers.

Ware and Sampson ate up theOrediggers in a 31-15 win Sept. 3 atAlumni Coliseum.

Sampson ran for 158 yards and a pairof touchdowns. He also caught fourpasses for 56 yards.

Ware passed for just 156 yards. Hepulled off a few Houdini acts, though,keeping plays alive with how-did-he-do-that moves.

Tech sacked Ware four times — withRyan Jones, Mike Touzinsky, MikeWaldman and Marcus Johnson bringinghim down — that night.

However, it was the near misses that

haunted the Orediggers.Ware was sacked eight times in last

week’s non-conference loss at SouthernOregon. A number closer to that wouldgo a long way toward a Tech win.

Mike Waldman, Connor O’Neill, RyanJones, Joe Hickey and the boys up frontwill be well rested and highly motivated to get Ware this time around.

When teams slow down the Easternrunning game, success usually follows.

Rocky Mountain held Sampson, theNAIA’s No. 3 rusher, to 37 yards twoweeks ago. The result was a 51-17 Rockywin.

Ware has some speedy targets in JakeBurroughs and Kedrick Starr, so the Techsecondary will be tested.

Ketwaun Frank has had to big gamesat cornerback in Tech’s secondary, whichwas revamped by injury. LoganLedgerwood is solid at the other corner,while David Chandler moved from corner to safety to play next to NathanKobold.

VOLLEYBALL

BY BRUCE SAYLERof The Montana Standard

Somewhere between the might-have-beens and the what-to-be’s lies the what-it-is for Montana Tech volleyball halfwaythrough the Frontier Conference season.

Head coach Marilyn Tobin is poised tomake the most of it.

The Orediggers went through its first tourof the conference without winning a match,going 0-7 in league play and 7-13 overall todate. Friday marks a new beginning of sorts.Montana Tech will be home against GreatFalls in a 6 p.m. match at the HPER Complexto launch the second half. Montana State-Northern visits the Butte campus onSaturday for a 2 p.m. contest.

“We’re down to 11 players and trying tokeep everybody healthy,” Tobin said, chuck-ling some, about the current moment ofMontana Tech volleyball. “We plan on winning some matches.”

The coach has had to blend and adjust asthe season proceeded. Players were lost toinjuries and interest, some for short time andothers forever. Her lineup sheet, one thatconfigures the various options for match use,is on its second sheet for the first time inTobin’s 23-year career.

“Our goal all year is to steadily improve,”she said. “We have four weeks until the con-ference tournament (in Helena) and I still feelif this team continues to improve, we’ll bewhere we need to be in the tournament.”

The schedule has been strewn with playerinjuries while the losses mounted. ShersteenCline missed time with a severely sprainedankle. Emily Matosich is gone for the seasonwith ACL and meniscus tears. Emily Lobnitzsat out a weekend with a concussion. AlexCourtney began the season on the disabled

list with a shoulder injury.Korey Krumm hasn’t missedany matches yet, but hasmissed practices with a “footissue.” Kirstin King has athumb injury that is beingconsidered for surgery oncethe season ends. Lacey Phelanis recovering from a slow-healing shoulder that was surgically repaired in the offseason.

At least two players expected back fromlast year did not return due to injuries,recovery time from which would have takenlonger than their remaining graduationrequirements.

“It’s just been crazy,” Tobin commented.“Injuries shouldn’t be an excuse because wehave people who we feel can fill those roles.Kids, you give them opportunities and theycan shine for you.”

Some have played out of position. Buttenative Kendra Lyons, counted on for back rowand serving, has become the team’s utilityplayer.

Shorthanded Orediggers looking for improvement

BY BILL FOLEYof The Montana Standard

The week off couldn’t have come at abetter time for the Montana Tech football team.

The Orediggers, who have lostfive straight games, used thetime to heal up.

More importantly, theyregrouped.

Saturday, theOrediggers open the sec-ond half of the season atEastern Oregon (4-2, 4-1)in a Frontier Conferencegame that kicks off at 2 p.m.Mountain Time (1 p.m. inOregon).

“We got a chance to sit down andreevaluate,” Tech coach Chuck Morrellsaid of the week off. “We spent a lot oftime in the film room and the practicefield working to rectify our first-halfissues.”

Morrell’s Orediggers (1-5, 0-5) arelooking at the rest of the season a coupleof different ways as they make their second trip around the Frontier.

First, they get the chance to playspoiler with three of their five oppo-nents ranked in the NAIA Top 25.

“It’s exciting to go through and seehow teams changed over the course ofthe first half of the season,” Morrell said.“It’s exciting to see what their strengthsand weaknesses have become. It gives ussome opportunities for attacking teamsin different areas.”

Second, Tech will look to build the

program toward the future.“A win on our end is certainly going to

have implications on the national playoffpicture,” Morrell said, noting that No. 23Eastern Oregon would have a hard timemaking the playoff with three losses.

“But also, we’ve focused on a lot ofour young guys and improving them,”Morrell said. “We’re trying to get them

to the point where they’re moving past being a new guyand really trying to coachthem as veterans. We need

to see that improvementtake off here in the secondhalf of the season.”

Morrell said theOrediggers used their timeoff to focus on three major

areas that need improvement— turnovers, giving up sacks and

field position.“By far and a way, as coaches we feel

those are the three areas that are pre-venting us from being successful,”Morrell said. “We’ve really pounded thathome the last week and a half, and certainly made some changes that willhelp fix those areas.”

Morrell praised the positive outlookof his team. He credits that to leadership.

“I had a chance to sit down and meetwith our seniors, and they’re still boughtin,” Morrell said. “They’re still sellingout, and they’re leading the team in thatsame direction.

“It makes my job easier when everybody is still gunning after going 1-0 every single week, and I wouldn’tsay that’s common.”

Katie Vance and Emily Atkinsoneach recorded two service aces while Kyndall Kordakis picked up 13 digs. Kylee Nawahine led the Yotes with 13 kills and the team fin-ished with a 50-21 advantage in total kills.

Both teams recorded 50 kills on the night with Westminster hitting .179 to the .139 by the Mavericks. Westminster recorded 77 digs, seven service aces and nine blocks.

It was a slow start for both teams as the match started with sixhitting errors before Rebecca Sellers of Mesa recorded the fist killof the match to tie the opening set at 4-4. The visitors would go ona 6-2 run to open up a 12-8 advantage and would never trail again.Westminster would even the set for the sixth time at 23-23 whenStephanie Jones Morin recorded her first kill. Mesa would respondwith a kill by Rachael Beaty and a block by Kelly Regimbal and

Cline, Phelan and libero Allyse Cruise carry themost experience while Kiara Ross and Katie Petteys arealso returnees. Michelle Hardy played at a junior college and shares the setting with Ross.

King augments the back-row playwith freshmen Krumm and Lobnitz inthe middle, and Courtney working onthe right side.

“It’s been fun watching our youngmiddles — Korey and Emily — throughthe season, getting better and figuringthe college game out,” Tobin said. “Ithink our constants have been our backrow — Allyse and Kirstin — with theirpassing and defense.

“Physically, Lacey is better, but not100 percent. She’s being crafty and smart, but youhave to have the heat or the defense knows how to playyour finesse shot. It’s tough coming off of surgery.”

The attitude, though, remains positive, the coachsaid.

“The players are holding their heads up,” she said.“They’re very positive because they believe in whatthis team can be.

“Because of that, we are going to win some matches.”

The coach, who hasn’t experienced a whole lot of losing as a player or assistant, said players could easilystart jumping ship from a 1-5 team.

“The seniors are maintaining a positive attitude. Thathas really trickled down even into our young guys, ourredshirts and our scout guys, who are still bringing a lotof energy to practice,” he said. “It’s awesome.”

Eastern Oregon is trying to snap a two-game losingstreak that put a halt to the Mountaineers’ red-hot start.

Eastern was blown out at home by Rocky Mountainbefore falling at Southern Oregon in a non-conferencegame last week. Morrell said the two losses do not meanthe Mountaineers forgot how to play.

“Southern Oregon, and I’ve stood right by this claimsince the day we played them, they’re a very good footballteam. They’re a challenge to match up against,” Morrellsaid. “I don’t think I was shocked by that one at all. I knewSouthern would certainly be able to play with them.”

The Battlin’ Bears, Morrell said, are the real deal.“Rocky just really got the turnover thing going.

Momentum really built in that game really rapidly,” hesaid. “Rocky is a quality ball club, too. It’s not likethey’re turning around and losing to slouches.”

The Orediggers are back on the road next week whenthey play MSU-Northern in Havre.

Tech is back at home the following week, when RockyMountain comes to town.

Tech is hopeful that hard-hitting Jake Helbling canreturn from injury after missing two games.

If they want to stop their five-game losing streak,the Orediggers need all hands on deck Saturday.

Here’s some more key factors to keep your eye onSaturday in La Grande:

SPOILER ROLEThe Orediggers (1-5, 0-5) badly want to win

Saturday. The Mountaineers (4-2, 4-1) have to.While a loss won’t end end Eastern Oregon’s hopes

of winning the Frontier Conference title, it might meanthe Mountaineers won’t make the playoff if they finishsecond. Eastern enters the game reeling after losses toRocky and Southern Oregon spoiled a 4-0 start.

The Orediggers have to hit the Mountaineers whiletheir down. The best way to do that is to take an earlylead, and the Mountaineers have been vulnerable in theearly going lately.

EOU has been outscored 131-102 in the first half ofgames this season.

The Mountaineers are 2-2 when trailing at the halfthis season. They’re 7-12 when losing at the half in fouryears under head coach Tim Camp.

MISTAKESThe Orediggers have made too many crucial

mistakes to win this season.Tech is a league-worst minus six in the turnover

margin. The Orediggers have turned the ball over 16 times in six games — five fumbles lost and 12 interceptions. Four of those turnovers have resultedin touchdowns by the opposing defense.

Others helped set up scores.The Orediggers must win the turnover battle if

things are going to turn around in the second half ofthe season.

Tech’s offense has showed flashes of brilliance.Behind a rotating line led by Drew Waltee, Matt

Study and Keith Mullan, Pat Hansen has went off formore than 100 yards three times. He nearly went for200 one game.

Sophomore quarterback Brian Schwarzkoph and theno-huddle attack has been up and down.

Receivers Trent Thomas, Craig Halko, JamesRoberts and tight end Leif Knatterud have been solid inTech’s controlled passing game.

Saturday will be a test for that unit.Eastern is plus four in the turnover margin. The

Mountaineers have forced 15 turnovers in six games.Senior linebacker Marc-Avery Aiarhart and

sophomore defensive back Nick Magrone each havetwo interceptions. Aiarhart is also tied for tops in theconference with 9.8 tackles per game.

Junior linebacker Howard McDonald adds 8.2 tackles per game, while junior defensive linemanMike Goings leads the Frontier in forced fumbles.

FIELD POSITIONOredigger opponents have had terrific starting

position all year.The turnovers have played a major role in that.Tech, though, has also struggled with short kickoffs

and inconsistent punting.Freshman Zach Reisenauer, who missed the first

part of the season with a badly broken ankle, kicked offfor the first time two weeks ago against MontanaWestern in Dillon. The result wasn’t what Tech coachChuck Morrell was looking for, but the coach expectsReisenaur’s strength to improve week to week.

Freshman punter Travis Farewell has boomed somebig kicks. He needs to be more consistent, though, tohelp out the Tech defense.

Over the next few years, the Oredigger kicking gamecould very well be a team strength. During the first halfof the season, though, it was sub-par. Eastern Oregon,meanwhile, is fourth in the NAIA in yards per punt.

Tech hasn’t won the field position battle all season.If the Orediggers could just break even in that cate-

gory Saturday, the long bus ride home from EasternOregon could be a happy one.

Stopping ...Continued from Page D5

In his second-to-last prep football game, Study was part of the Kalispell squadthat beat Butte High 28-14 in a Class AA playoff game at Bulldog MemorialStadium.

The quarterback of that Braves team was Brock Osweiler, who is nowthe starting quarterback at Arizona State.

The next day, Study watched Montana Tech play Carroll College atAlumni Coliseum as part of a recruiting trip.

He decided right then he was an Oredigger.“I talked to Rocky a little bit, and Western and the Cats a little bit,”

Study says. “Tech just fit. I came on a recruiting trip to a Tech-Carroll gameand I was just sold. I just liked the atmosphere here. I like the people and theschool, as far as placement goes, is unbeatable, especially with the cost. So itwas pretty clear to me.”

In the classroom, Study lives up to the way his name is usually mispronounced.

Study, who has a 3.4 GPA, already has an associate’s degreein construction technology.

He’ll finish his degree in business management in May.On Tuesday, Study spent the day in Seattle interviewing with

a construction company about a superintendent position.“That’s what I’m looking into doing,” he says.Judging by his play on the field, a superintendent job would be a fitting one.Study has been a key player and a leader on the Montana Tech offensive line

almost since he first stepped on campus.Study started every game during his junior season and most of the games of his

sophomore season at left guard.Before that, Study filled in at just about every other position on the offensive line.When Chuck Morrell took over as Tech coach last offseason, the new coaching

staff moved Study to right tackle.“They wanted to get the two most athletic out on the edges,” Study says.That plan worked to perfection as the Orediggers and Pat Hansen ran all over

Southern Oregon’s defense in the opener.After losses to Eastern Oregon and MSU-Northern — and a rash of injuries — the

Orediggers decided to move Study back to left tackle, where he’d onceagain play next to left tackle Drew Waltee.

“Some of that was since me and Drew have been meshing togetherfor three years, and they wanted to get us back on the same side,”Study says. “A lot of (playing offensive line) is knowing who’s next to

you. Part of it was to get us meshing together again, and we’ve obviously got some players who can play on the edge as well.”

Switching sides, which means you have to switch hands you puton the ground in your three-point stance, wasn’t a problem for

Study, who is left handed.“My first couple of years I was kind of a utility player,” he says.

“I’d play left, right, whatever. It didn’t matter. So I got used to havingwhichever hand down.”

In fact, Study actually helps teach younger players how to adjust toswitching hands when he helps Braves coach Russell McCarvel duringsummer camps.

“Having kids put down their other hand is just like night and day,”Study says. “They just can’t figure it out.”

The adjustment to Tech’s new no-huddle defense hasn’t been tootroublesome, either, Study says.

“It’s quite a bit different, but I haven’t really thought about it much because it’sbeen like that since the first practice of spring ball,” he says. “It would be weird tohuddle now.”

What Study says he can’t quite figure out is why the Orediggers have lost fivestraight.

“It’s one of those things when you’ve got a bunch of new guys who are all new to

the whole college football thing,” Studysays, referring to the large number oftrue freshman playing major roles thisseason. “Everybody is new to the program. It’s not really an excuse at thispoint because we’ve all been through it,it’s just one of those transition kind ofdeals.

“We plan on getting it the whole sec-ond half of the season and winning out.”

Study says the new program and newnew players just needed a little bit oftime.

He hopes that time is up.Actually, he’s counting on it.“Chuck is an awesome coach. He

knows the game like I’ve never seenbefore. Same with a lot of the coaches hebrought in,” Study says. “Everythingmight not click in that first year, but Ihave no doubt that things are going toget better in the future.
