The Orem Tigers (1-1) hit the road for a tough out-of-state non-conference clash against the Rocky Mountain Grizzlies (0-0) in Meridian, Idaho. Orem is fresh off two competitive games to start the season, while Rocky Mountain will be making its 2025 debut. With Orem ranked #150 nationally and #7 in Utah, and Rocky Mountain entering as the #2 team in Idaho, this matchup should be a strong early test for both programs.

Rocky Mountain Grizzlies
Rocky Mountain begins its 2025 season at home with high expectations as one of Idaho’s top programs. The Grizzlies were ranked #678 nationally and #2 in Idaho entering the year, and they’ll be eager to show their depth and physicality against an Orem squad that has already been tested twice.
