CATCH DIGGER FEVER!

Whether you’re an athlete or a fan,

you’ll soon be caught up in the Digger spirit. We’re competitive and care about achieving our personal best.

We cheer each other on and have a lot of fun. More than just a collection of players and fans, we’re a family.

Supporting each other on the field and in the classroom— and remaining friends long after graduation. And, because life isn’t always filled with victories, we stick together and support each other, no matter what happens.

We’re not just crazy about sports at Montana Tech; we care about character, education, and lifelong success that begins with graduation. These are shared values that help make our student-athletes in demand in the community as well as in the workplace.
