Montana wrapped up its fall season at the Colorado Cup with two dual wins, beating Air Force and Gonzaga while falling to host Denver. The Grizzlies won the doubles point in all three matchups and finished with 16 match victories, building momentum after a program-best fall campaign.

By the Numbers
  • 16 total match wins: 10 in singles and 6 in doubles.
  • Montana swept the doubles point in all 3 matchups.
  • The Griz earned dual wins over Air Force and Gonzaga, but lost to Denver.
Yes, But

Montana’s doubles consistency and wins over Air Force and Gonzaga were strong signs, but Denver came out ahead overall. The results also arrive after the Griz graduated significant talent, making the team’s emergence this fall notable.

State of Play
  • The Colorado Cup was Montana’s final fall event as a full team.
  • Sophomore Matt Upton and junior Duncan McCall will compete at the ITA West Sectional in Phoenix, with a place in the NCAA Tournament on the line.
  • The rest of the squad turns toward the offseason and spring dual schedule.
What's Next

Upton and McCall are set to play at the ITA West Sectional Nov. 5–8. Montana will carry its fall results into preparation for the spring season.

Bottom Line

Montana’s fall showed that its retooling may be ahead of schedule: a reliable doubles edge and emerging leadership give the Griz a foundation to build on in the spring.
