Montana shot 63 percent from the field, en route to a 95-75 win over Montana State, Saturday afternoon in Dahlberg Arena.
Four Montana (12-3, 1-0) players hit double-figures led by senior Sonja Rogers with 30 points.
Montana State (6-7, 0-1) was led by Erica Perry, who registered 18 points, connecting on seven-of-12 from the field.
Also in double-digits for the Bobcats were Sarah Strand 13, Katie Bussey 13, and Nubia Garcia 10.
MSU out-rebounded the Lady Griz 36-33 as Garcia posted a team-high seven rebounds.
The Bobcats, who trailed by 20-points at intermission, cut the margin to thirteen points in the second stanza but would get no closer.
“They shot the ball well,” said MSU head coach Tricia Binford. “They get the o-board, kick-it-out, and convert. We need to do a better job on defense.
“I was excited about our freshman and the spark they gave us, and Erica Perry showed what a special player she is in the second half.”
For the game, MSU shot 45 percent from the floor, including 63 percent in the second half. The Bobcats also committed 18 turnovers, while the Lady Griz had 13 miscues.
UM shot 55 percent in the opening stanza as four Lady Griz players tallied double-figures.
The Bobcats hit 30 percent in the first half, but a five-minute drought helped UM pull out to a 47-27 advantage at intermission.
Strand notched eight points for the Bobcats in the half.
MSU will travel to Sacramento State on Thursday.
