1. A 7th place finish in the final Big Sky Conf. league play standings.
2. The road win qualified Montana as a participant in the Big Sky post-season tourney after a four-year absence. With the win, Montana also moved ahead of 8th place Montana State in the standings.
3. I suppose that doesn't seem too impressive, but it signifies Lawrence's ability -- in just her second hear as head coach -- to reverse the team's slide to the bottom of the Big Sky under two previous coaches.
4. Two (or perhaps 3) of Lawrence's recruits -- Sarina Moreno fr. (Msla. Sentinel), Olivia Bradley fr. (Nampa, ID Skyview) and Bailey Perman So.(Pocatello ID Century) -- logged essential minutes (Moreno and Perman as full-time starters) for Montana this year. Add in three redshirts from this year and a pretty impressive recruiting class for 2019... and things look pretty promising for the future.
5. Montana will graduate veteran leaders Mykaela Hammer, Cassie Laramee and Alexis Urbach, but Lawrence has certainly started a turnaround for Montana.
6. It will probably take another year... but who knows... this team has a winning identity and, it's possible several incoming players can put Montana into contention once again.
Congrats Coach Lawrence! Best wishes in the tourney. Go Griz

Beat me to it. Heard about that today.Happygriz1 wrote: ↑Tue Jan 15, 2019 2:29 pmLooks like my previous statement of Olivia Bradley being a stud is no longer relevant to the Griz volleyball team she’s transferred to Boise state
Bummer, a set back to a team that’s been steadily improving.AZDoc wrote: ↑Thu Jan 17, 2019 3:58 pmBeat me to it.

That would be a huge blow for this team, the only players left with any sort of consistent play time are Ashley Watkins and Sarina MorenoMissoulaCanucksFan wrote: ↑Mon Jan 21, 2019 3:11 amSeeing Bradley leave the program and transfer home to Boise (she's from nearby Nampa) is a bit of a shock. She was a pretty solid player for a true freshman and had a high ceiling. I wish her all the best at Boise State.
Just looked at the team's 2019 roster and just noticed that Baily Permann, who lead the team in blocks during the 2018 season, is no longer on the roster as well.
I have no info on the departures themselves but women’s sports as a whole has a tendency to have far more departures then men’s for all sorts of various reasons.Happygriz1 wrote: ↑Tue Jan 22, 2019 8:23 pmWhat is going on with all of the departures from this team in the last 4 years
Such a weird culture within women’s sports and this. I couldn’t imagine playing for a program that hasn’t been doing well is easy but every player has the opportunity to change that. Leaving is a big sign of weekness to me. Anyone have any insight on the Baily Permann situationalabamagrizzly wrote: ↑Tue Jan 22, 2019 9:37 pmI have no info on the departures themselves but women’s sports as a whole has a tendency to have far more departures then men’s for all sorts of various reasons.Happygriz1 wrote: ↑Tue Jan 22, 2019 8:23 pmWhat is going on with all of the departures from this team in the last 4 years
I know for men, more so then women, there’s a competitive drive to stay involved. Women have alsorts if various reasons to leave; home sick, family issues, future family considerations. It’s a fact that women are more emotionally driven in their decisions and can change their minds for any reason. I certainly wouldn’t consider it a weakness, just a different approach at decision making.Happygriz1 wrote: ↑Wed Jan 23, 2019 1:47 pmSuch a weird culture within women’s sports and this.

I know for the softball team, we’ve had four girls leave early in the four year history of the program. One for homesickness, one for her choice of education(dentistry), one for family sickness, and one for loss of playing time.alabamagrizzly wrote: ↑Wed Jan 23, 2019 2:48 pmI know for men, more so then women, there’s a competitive drive to stay involved.
