Montana will play as road war- riors once again this weekend, but at least they’ll have some rest first. The Griz will open the Big Sky Conference season with a Friday night showdown against Northern Arizona in Flagstaff, then travel to face Northern Colorado in Greeley on Sunday. After round- ing out their non-conference schedule with six-of-eight match- es on the road, the Griz got a bye last weekend in preparation for league play. “The weekend off was the most beneficial thing that could happen to our squad,” said sophomore goalkeeper Grace Harris. “The season is really taxing on your body, so to get a break and get more prepared for conference play has been huge for us. We’re ready to go.” Harris has played in all of the team’s 900 minutes, during which she has amassed 62 saves.
