The Argos will look to continue their hot streak tomorrow. They'll take on Rocky Mountain College at 3:00 p.m. before taking on Montana State-Northern at 7:00 p.m. Both games will be played in Havre, Mont. 

"We need to approach tomorrow the same way," Duda said. "I thought we approached things really well today. We didn't take it easy or come in with a nonchalant attitude. The girls were focused and ready to go. These are conference opponents so there's a little bit more at stake anytime you play them. Our girls handled that really well."
