Yellowjackets Sign Former Montana State Standout

BILLINGS, Mont. – Montana State Billings women’s basketball head coach, Kevin Woodin, has announced the signing of former Montana State University standout, Beata Bak, to play for the Yellowjackets in 2010-11.

“Beata will provide us with instant size and experience on the interior,” said Woodin. “She is a very skilled player and I look for her to help us immediately.”

Bak, a 6-2 forward/center from Stalowa Wola, Poland, played her junior season at MSU after transferring from Miles Community College. In Bozeman, Bak played in 31 of 32 games, averaging six points and four rebounds per game. She recorded a season-high 19 points in a game against UC Riverside, and pulled down a season-high 14 rebounds against Boise State.

Bak was named Montana State’s player of the week on two occasions. On the season, she blocked 40 shots which was the third best season total in Bobcat history.

As a sophomore at Miles Community College, she was named the Montana-Dakota Conference’s Most Valuable Player, averaging 17 points and nine rebounds per game.
