GREAT FALLS, MT. (jimmiepride.com) – The second-ranked University of Jamestown volleyball team will be in Great Falls, Mont., Thursday through Saturday for the Electric City Invite, hosted by University of Providence.
The Jimmies will play four matches over the three days, with single matches on Thursday and Saturday and a pair on Friday.
All games will be streamed at https://web.playsight.com/facility/university-of-providence-volleyball/home
Jamestown will face a pair of top 15 teams while in the Big Sky state, including an opening match against No. 13 Montana Tech Thursday. The Jimmies were at the Big Sky Volleyball Challenge hosted by Montana Tech last week, but did not face the Orediggers. Montana Tech lost its first match against Viterbo, but has won three straight including sweeps of Cornerstone and Bushell, and a four-set win over Vanguard.
UJ’s Friday opponents are Arizona Christian, who will be playing its first match of the season earlier in the day against Montana Tech, and the 10th-ranked Argos, the tournament’s host team. Providence got off to a rough start last weekend, getting swept twice and losing a five-set match among its four losses.
The Master’s will be the Jimmies’ final opponent of the weekend, and are 1-0 after a sweep of West Coast Baptist College. They will have two games on Friday before facing UJ Saturday.
