Montana State first-year head coach Matt Houk has announced his team's schedule for the 2023 season. The slate includes three non-conference tournaments as well as a pair of matches against Seattle U in Shroyer Gym, before embarking on a 16-match Big Sky Conference ledger.
Montana State begins the season Aug. 25 hosting the Bobcat Classic. MSU plays Pac-12 rival Oregon State and North Dakota on the opening day and closes out the weekend with Kennesaw State. The Cats travel to Minnesota Aug. 31 – Sept 2 where it faces St. Thomas, Milwaukee, and Cal Baptist over the course of three days. MSU finishes its tournament play at Nevada Sept. 14-15 against the Wolf Pack and Pac-12 opponent Cal.
"We are excited about this upcoming season," Houk said. "We feel like we put together a schedule that will be challenging and allow us to learn about ourselves before we get into Big Sky Conference play.
'We are looking forward to playing at Shroyer early in the season as well," he added. "We open the season at home and think it will be a great test and give us a good idea where we are at and what we have to work on going forward."
The Bobcats open its Big Sky schedule at Idaho on Sept. 21 with its first league home match slated for Sept. 23 against Idaho State. MSU plays a two-match series against all Big Sky foes, except for Eastern Washington and Weber State, which it will see once. The annual Cat-Griz match will again be played in the Brick Breeden Fieldhouse on Oct. 27. MSU plays in Missoula Sept. 29.
"The schedule is highlighted with our Cat-Griz match in The Brick again this year – where we know Bozeman and MSU will show up and get things rockin'," Houk said. "I cannot wait to see what year one has in store for us."
