Montana State sweeps Big Sky Conference volleyball honors
BOZEMAN — Fresh off its fifth consecutive victory over its in-state rival, the Montana State volleyball program reaped the rewards of its effort as senior outside hitter Madilyn Siebler and senior libero Lauren Lindseth were named Big Sky Conference offensive and defensive players of the week, respectively, the league office announced Monday afternoon.
Siebler, a native of Omaha, Neb., recorded a career-high 21 kills as the Bobcats dispatched Montana 25-19, 23-25, 25-17, 17-25, 15-10 on Saturday night in front of a UM record crowd of 3,001 in Dahlberg Arena.
Lindseth, a graduate of CMR High School in Great Falls, registered a team-high 27 digs, while dishing out seven assists and adding one service ace in the victory.
“Madilyn and Lauren came and established early who we were going to be in the rivalry match,” said MSU head coach Matt Houk. “They set the tone for our group and stayed steady throughout the match. It was a great way to finish their last opportunity to play in Missoula.”
Siebler opened the match with six kills in the first set. Over the course of the first three sets, she totaled 15 kills, while hitting .378 from the field. For the match, Siebler averaged 4.2 kills per set. In addition, she recorded a season-high 15 digs and added a block assist.
Lindseth, who captured the league’s defensive honor for the third time and for the second straight week, averaged 5.40 digs per set. She opened the contest with eight saves in the opening set. Lindseth also got the job done in serve-receive, being targeted by the Grizzlies thirty-five times (the most on either team) without committing an error.
Montana State has won three consecutive matches and five of its last six outings to move atop the Big Sky Conference standings at 4-1 along with Weber State.
The Bobcats play at Portland State, Thursday, Oct. 16 at 8 p.m. (MT) in Viking Pavilion. PSU defeated MSU 3-0 in Bozeman on Sept. 27, the lone blemish on its Big Sky slate.

French Montana Shares Rare Insight into Khloe Kardashian Relationship
Where Khloe Kardashian Stands With Ex French Montana More Than 10 Years After Breakup
French Montana is done keeping up with reality TV.
In fact, he only agreed to appear on Keeping Up With The Kardashians and Kourtney & Khloé Take the Hamptons over a decade ago as a favor to then-girlfriend Khloe Kardashian.
“She said to get on the show,” he exclusively told E! News at the BET Awards on June 28. “And I got on the show. Shout out to Khloe.”
The “Ever Since U Left Me” rapper, who split with Kardashian in December 2014 after eight months of dating, said the experience was “fun” because her family kept it real.
“They filmed their real life,” he continued. “And we were part of something together that one time. So it felt great. It didn’t feel like work because they film what they do everyday.”
As for his future in reality TV, the 41-year-old said those days are over, shutting down any prospective offers with a simple, “Negative.”
Although the “Unforgettable” artist—whose real name is Karim Kharbouch—may not be returning to television anytime soon, he has no problem hanging out with his ex-girlfriend these days.

Montana nurse and Guard member earns national Air Force recognition
GREAT FALLS — For Staff Sgt. Brianna St. Lawrence-Brody, service does not only happen in uniform.
Outside the gates of the base, she works at Benefis as a nurse, Great Falls Public Schools as a school nurse, and comes home as a wife and mom of four. For the Montana Air National Guard, she serves as a command post controller with the 120th Airlift Wing in Great Falls.

Montana nurse and Guard member earns national Air Force recognition
This year, St. Lawrence-Brody was named the U.S. Air National Guard’s Outstanding Airman of the Year in the Non-Commissioned Officer category.
She said the recognition came as a surprise, especially because her path into the Guard started later than others.
“I joined very late in life,” St. Lawrence-Brody said. “I joined the Guard right before I turned 40. So for me, every opportunity that’s presented, I want to take the bull by the horns and just run with it and do the best of my ability.”
During the COVID-19 pandemic, she joined the Guard after finishing nursing school. She said she went straight from nursing school into helping open a COVID unit, while also working at Benefis.
She said that experience was the start of one journey, but not the whole of what she wanted to accomplish.
St. Lawrence-Brody joined the Guard for the opportunities, the challenge and to help build a future for her four children.
“It’s a little bit of a competition for myself,” she said. “Like, if I can do it, why not try my best to achieve it?”
120th Airlift Wing Public Affairs
As a command post controller, she assists in helping move information during emergencies and major events.
“Outside, obviously, I’m a nurse. Inside the Guard, I have nothing to do with the medical field, which is kind of amazing,” St. Lawrence-Brody said. “It keeps me on my toes.”
She explained balancing the Guard, two civilian jobs and four children takes support from her family, her employers and her unit. She said Benefis and GFPS have been supportive of her military service.
Her nomination included her deployment experience, training work overseas and involvement across the wing. St. Lawrence-Brody said she deployed to Ramstein Air Base in Germany, where she worked with an operations center supporting entities connected to Africa.
But, she says this recognition is not the finish line.
“This award, it’s not necessarily a landing pad for me,” St. Lawrence-Brody said. “I want to use it as a springboard.”
120th Airlift Wing Public Affairs
St. Lawrence-Brody hopes her story encourages others to keep taking on new opportunities, even when they feel uncertain.
“Get comfortable with being uncomfortable and be okay with doing things afraid,” she said. “I think when you get to be okay with doing things afraid, that’s where you’re going to find the growth.”
She has already won at the Air National Guard level, but she recently traveled to Washington, D.C., as part of the broader Air Force Outstanding Airman of the Year process, which includes nominees from the Guard, Reserve and major commands across the Air Force.
