Natalie Visger
Assistant Coach
4th Year

Natalie Visger is entering her fourth season as the assistant coach for the Montana State University Billings Women's Basketball team.  She is a 2003 graduate of Montana State University-Billings.  She earned a Bachelor of Science degree in biology with a minor in chemistry, graduating Magna Cum Laude with a 3.91 GPA.  As a senior in 2003 Visger was named the Outstanding Biology Senior.

“Natalie is a talented young coach,” said Woodin.  “She brings a tremendous amount of experience to the program, both as a player and as a coach.  I'm very fortunate to have her and she will have a positive impact on our program.  Natalie’s duties will include directing and assisting with the pre and postseason weight training and conditioning program, game and practice preparation, recruiting, travel arrangements, fundraising, film exchange, scouting, basketball camps and tournaments, and individual skill development.”

Visger was a four-year standout on the basketball court for the Lady Yellowjackets.  As a two-time team captain she helped the Yellowjackets reach three NCAA Tournaments in four years.  As a freshman and sophomore Visger was an All-Pacific West Conference selection.  As a senior she was named the Montana State University-Billings Outstanding Female Student-Athlete.

Known as a tenacious competitor, Visger made several impressions in the Yellowjacket record books.  She still ranks twelfth in school history for scoring with 1,219 career points.  She is also in the career top 10 for free throws made, free throw percentage, rebounds, and rebounding average.

After graduating in 2003, Visger played professionally in Europe for three seasons.  In 2003-2004 she played for TV-Langen in Langen, Germany.  She finished the season ranked second in the league for scoring average at 20.7 ppg, helping guide the team to the post season. In 2004-2005 and 2005-2006 Visger played for ASC Theresianum Mainz in Mainz, Germany.  In the ‘04-‘05 season she was again second in the league for scoring at 18.5 ppg.  Mainz finished second in the league both of her seasons.

She coached the women's second team for Langen and the women's third team in Mainz. Both teams finished among the top three in league.  In addition to playing professional basketball, Visger, who speaks fluent German, worked as a document translator for STI Security Training International GmbH in Wiesbaden, Germany.

Visger resides in Billings and will have her Master's in Sports Management at the completion of the 2009-10 school year. She is a member of the Montana Coaches Association.
