The match featured 41 ties and 18 lead changes over two hours and 28-minutes of action.
A pesky Northern Arizona defense coupled with Montana State hitting miscues resulted in a 26-28, 27-25, 25-19, 25-19 victory for the Lumberjacks on Saturday night in the Rolle Activity Center.
Montana State (6-13, 4-4) was the aggressor in the opening set outhitting Northern Arizona (9-9, 2-5) .271 to .169, but the Bobcats had to hold off a late NAU rally as the Lumberjacks fought off four set points before two ball-handling blunders gave MSU the opening frame.
The Bobcats held a late 24-20 advantage in set two, but again the Lumberjacks rallied fighting off four set points to even the contest. Tied at 25-all, back-to-back hitting errors by MSU completed NAU's comeback.
The final two sets saw Northern Arizona pull away at the midway mark. NAU used a 9-3 run to close out the third set, and a 7-1 run to take the match.
After posting 21 kills in the opening set, Montana State had a hard time terminating in the final three frames recording 32 kills (10.7 kps) while registering a .092 attack mark. MSU's 27 hitting errors were its third highest total of the season.
The match featured 41 ties and 18 lead changes over two hours and 28-minutes of action.
Offensively, MSU was led by Madilyn Siebler with 14 kills, while Jourdain Kamps and Camryn Greenwald added nine apiece. Siebler also added a team-high three service aces.
Defensively, junior libero Lauren Lindseth recorded a match-high 30 digs. It marked the second time this season Lindseth has gone over the 30-dig plateau. The former Great Falls CMR standout had a season-best 32 saves at South Dakota earlier this season.
Also registering double-digit digs were Siebler 18, Courtney Weatherby 16, and Nellie Stevenson 10. Siebler's double-double was her ninth of the season, which is tops on the squad. Kamps paced MSU with a team-high five blocks.
