In 2015 - C of I earned wins at Montana State-Northern and a home win vs. Rocky Mountain; last season, the squad followed a bye with a road win at Carroll and a home win over Montana Western - starting a string of five wins in six games to close the season; with the 2018 team earning a Homecoming win over Carroll and last week's upset of Montana Tech.
