NAIA playoffs

Break out the portable grills and blow the dust off of those cornhole boards and join the fun at the Montana Tech Alumni Association's tailgate party which is scheduled to start at 4:30pm in front of the new Student Success Center which is directly across from the HPER complex. This will be a great chance to enjoy the Spring weather and enjoy some camaraderie with other like-minded Oredigger fans before their biggest game of the season thus far.

The National Association of Intercollegiate Athletics (NAIA) announced that the Orediggers of Montana Tech would be one of the 16 host sites where the first and second-round games of the National Championship, presented by Ballogy, would be played. Montana Tech also hosted first and second-round games a year ago, the first time in school history. The Orediggers are the No. 3 seed in the Naismith Quadrant and will play the 14th seed Pioneers from Wayland Baptist. The other matchup in Butte has the 11th-seeded Warriors of Lewis Clark State taking on the 6-seed Hope International (California).

After closing out the regular season with three straight wins including last weekend's impressive 23-17 win at Carroll College, the Montana Tech Orediggers football team has qualified for the 2023 NAIA National Playoffs and will host a first-round game this Saturday at Bob Green Field.
