GRR: Montana State
When considering the Rocky Mountain conference championship, Montana State wasn't a big part of the conversation. It's the Bobcats' first season in the conference, and the team came out of a diluted West Pool that included a strong Utah State and two programs that forfeited their seasons.
Administrating the women’s Rocky Mountain conference is like coaching a team. There are well established programs – the veterans – that plan for playoffs and whose engagement in the league hinges on a level of professionalism (e.g., playing a season without forfeit wins).
There are a few debutantes at this year’s Women’s College 7s Championship. The competition welcomes west coast additions UC Davis and Humboldt, which were both spring 15s playoff teams, as well as Rutgers, which represents one of two teams located north of the Mason Dixon line. And then there’s Montana State, which until this spring, hadn’t made much noise on the national or regional scene.
