Milne, Langford Ranked High in Final NCAA Statistics

BILLINGS, MT – Montana State-Billings juniors Robyn Milne and Jenny Langford were each ranked in the top 25 for two statistical categories in the final women’s basketball rankings released by the NCAA on Wednesday. 

Milne, a 6-3 center from Richey, Mont., ranked seventh for rebounds per game (11.6) and ninth for blocked shots per game (2.7).  It was the first time she has been ranked by the NCAA for rebounds per game, but Milne has been at least in the top 26 in each of her three seasons for blocked shots.  After averaging a double-double for points and rebounds as a junior, Milne was named to the All-West Region second team.

Langford, a 5-6 guard from Reedpoint, Mont., spent most of the season ranked about fortieth for both 3-point field goals made and 3-point field goal percentage.  She had several strong shooting games in the final weeks of the season to finish ranked eighteenth for 3-point field goals per game (2.6) and 23^rd for 3-point field goal percentage (40.7). 

As a team, the Yellowjackets were ranked in only one statistical category, finishing 38^th for field goal percentage defense (36.8).  The Lady Jackets had a 16-11 overall record and finished ranked tenth in the NCAA West Region despite not having a senior on the roster.
