DILLON — A new leader of the Frontier Conference West Division emerges by day’s end, breaking a three-way deadlock between nationally-ranked Montana Western, Carroll College and College of Idaho.

With the Yotes idle, either the Bulldogs or Saints assume a half-game advantage with four to play by virtue of conquering an NAIA Game-of-the-Week-caliber contest at Bulldog Stadium.

No. 8-ranked Western, with a victory, would have an inside track toward the program’s first league three-peat since 1993-95 (shared or outright). No. 14 Carroll eyes its first win in Dillon since 2015. It’s a rematch of last season’s Nov. 9 matchup that would’ve handed the Saints an outright conference championship. Western won that contest by two scores.
