Lady Jackets Sign Transfer Post Player (5/3/06)

BILLINGS, MT – Montana State-Billings women’s basketball coach Kevin Woodin announced this week that Adrienne Green has signed a national letter of intent to play for the Lady Yellowjackets next season.  Green joins a recruiting class of four high school seniors that signed during the NCAA early signing period in November.

Green is a 2004 graduate of Reed Point High School.  The 6-foot-3 post played two seasons at Sheridan College where she earned all-sub region, all-conference, and all-region honors.  As a sophomore Green averaged 15 points and eight rebounds a game at Sheridan.

At Reed Point HS, Green was a four-year letter winner in volleyball and basketball.  She earned all-conference and all-state honors in basketball and all-conference honors in volleyball.  As a senior she averaged 17 points and eight rebounds a game to lead the Pirates to district and divisional titles and a runner up finish at the State C Tournament.

“Adrienne will help us immediately,” said Woodin.  “She improved consistently during her career at Sheridan, and I expect her to make a positive impact on our team.  She is a quality student-athlete, and she will provide a great low post presence for us on both ends of the floor.”

The Yellowjackets were 18-9 overall during the 2005-2006 season.  They were Heartland Conference regular season co-champions in their first year in the league.  During the NCAA’s early signing period, Woodin inked Laura Beach of Baker, Mont., Dani Henderson of Reed Point, Mont., Shantell Marquis of Cascade, Mont., and Mandy Jacobs of Shepherd, Mont.
