ABOUT YELLOWJACKET ATHLETICS Home of the Yellowjackets, the Montana State University Billings department of intercollegiate athletics supports 15 men’s and women’s varsity sports which compete in the NCAA at the Division II level. MSUB is one of 11 full-time members of the Great Northwest Athletic Conference, which features 11 championships throughout each academic year. More than 240 student-athletes compete on MSUB’s teams, and members of Yellowjacket teams posted a collective 3.15 grade point average during the 2015-16 academic year. MSUB-sponsored varsity sports include men’s and women’s teams in basketball, cheer/ stunt, cross-country, golf, soccer, indoor and outdoor track & field, as well as baseball, softball, and women’s volleyball. Highlights from the 2015-16 season included a second NCAA West Region Championships berth for MSUB’s women’s basketball team in the last three years, as the Yellowjackets played their way to the title game of the GNAC tournament before advancing. Junior Alisha Breen led the GNAC in scoring with 17.4 points per game, and senior Janiel Olson broke the school’s career rebounding record. Senior Della Lyle stole the show on the track for the ‘Jackets, becoming the first All-American in school history on the women’s side. She was selected as the GNAC Newcomer of the Year in both indoor and outdoor seasons, and represented the Yellowjackets at the NCAA National Championships. On the baseball diamond, the ‘Jackets claimed their second straight GNAC regular-season title, setting a program record with 30 victories including their first-ever postseason win in the conference tournament. Junior Cody Cooper shattered the school record with 106 strikeouts in 99 1/3 innings, and senior Luke Reinschmidt closed his historic career by earning first-team all-region honors for a second straight season. MSUB’s men’s soccer team also had a highlight year, posting its first winning season since 2012. Sophomore Ricardo Palomino led the entire NCAA west region in goals with 16, and earned first-team all-region honors. In women’s soccer, the ‘Jackets advanced to their third GNAC Championship tournament in the last four seasons, after posting a second consecutive winning year. MSUB hosted three conference championship events and an NCAA Division II West Region Championship for the first time ever during the 2014-15 year. The ‘Jackets welcomed more than 30 teams to Billings on Nov. 22, 2014 for the NCAA Division II West Region Championships at Amend Park, hosted the 2014-15 Men’s and Women’s GNAC Basketball Championships from March 4-7, 2015 at Alterowitz Gym, and capped off the year by hosting the 2015 GNAC Baseball Championships from May 7-8 at Dehler Park. MSUB also serves as the host of the largest NCAA Division II softball tournament, the Desert Stinger Classic, which was played for the sixth year in a row from Feb. 12-14, 2015 at Majestic Park in Las Vegas.

ABOUT YELLOWJACKET ATHLETICS The 2014-15 year also featured three All-American athletes from MSUB, including senior Kayleen Goggins (women’s basketball), junior Robert Peterson (men’s indoor track & field), and senior Brody Miller (baseball). Miller was also selected as the 201415 GNAC Male Athlete of the Year for all sports, just the second baseball player in the conference’s history to win the award, and the second student-athlete from MSUB to collect the honor as he joined women’s basketball star Bobbi Knudsen (2013-14). Capturing GNAC crowns during the 2014-15 year were MSUB’s baseball and softball teams. The Yellowjackets won the 2015 GNAC Softball Championships and advanced all the way to the semifinals of the NCAA Division II West Region Championships in May. MSUB’s women’s soccer team also competed for a GNAC Championship title, finishing in second place in the conference standings and earning the No. 2 seed into the conference tournament in the fall of 2014. In men’s golf, senior Jake Hedge also represented the ‘Jackets at the NCAA Regional level, competing as an individual in the championships in Monterey Bay, Calif., from May 6-8, 2015. In 2013-14, the MSUB women’s basketball team made history by winning the 2013-14 Great Northwest Athletic Conference regular season title and advancing to the NCAA Division II west regional championship game. MSUB’s 2013-14 women’s basketball team joined the Yellowjackets’ 1998-99 squad as the only two in program history to advance to the NCAA regional title game. The latter continued on to the Elite Eight, marking the furthest-advancing MSUB team in the school’s history. In 2012, the MSUB softball team won the GNAC regular season title with a 32-18 overall record and earned hosting privileges for the 2013 conference softball tournament. The 2012 Yellowjacket men’s basketball team also earned a conference title, defeating the University of Alaska Anchorage 74-70 in the GNAC tournament championship game. Formerly known as Eastern Montana College, MSUB athletics stem back to the 1927-28 season, the year in which the university was founded. The Yellowjackets have competed in a number of different conferences throughout the years, and prior to the 1980-81 season the athletic department transitioned from the NAIA to competing at the NCAA Division II level. The MSUB Hall of Fame and Distinction inducted its inaugural class in 1990 and serves as a tribute towards influential figures on and off the court, in both current and retired sports.

‘JACKETS IN THE COMMUNITY MSUB’s women’s basketball team dedicates significant time each school year to give back to the Billings community through various service and engagement activities. The Yellowjackets visited classrooms at local elementary schools to work with students on multiple occasions, and welcomed students to MSUB’s campus to show them around and engage in physical activities.
The women’s basketball team was a major contributor to MSUB’s athletics department’s more than 1,400 community service hours registered during the 2015-16 academic year, and the ‘Jackets will continue their community service and engagement initiatives beginning again in the 2016-17 season.

Breen named first team, Woodin is Coach of the Year February 29, 2016 Senior Janiel Olson is being named to the GNAC all-conference team for the third time, senior Monica Grimsrud picks up her first honor, junior Alisha Breen earns first team recognition while head coach Kevin Woodin is awarded Coach of the Year. PORTLAND, Ore. – Junior Alisha Breen was named first team all-conference, seniors Janiel Olson and Monica Grimsrud both earned honorable mention accolades, and MSUB head coach Kevin Woodin was honored as the 2015-16 Great Northwest Athletic Conference Coach of the Year announced Monday. “I was very pleased to hear that Alisha, Janiel, and Monica earned GNAC all-conference honors,” MSUB Coach Woodin said. “They have all been tremendous leaders and players for our team this year. They positively represent what we are looking for in a student-athlete at MSU Billings. Alisha has been a great all-around player on our team. She has really improved her game and I believe is one of the top athletes in our region and I am happy she is being recognized with this honor. Janiel has worked extremely hard this season. After tearing her ACL and sitting out last year, she has come back and been an incredible asset to our team. Her work-ethic and dedication to the program is remarkable. Monica has had an outstanding senior season as a Yellowjacket. Her focus on basketball has helped her gain a lot of skill and her commitment this year as a leader has been great to see.” “Congratulations to Coach Woodin for this incredible and well-deserved honor,” MSUB director of intercollegiate athletics Krista Montague said. “His team’s success on and off the field this season certainly proved to his peers he is deserving of this award.” Breen, a 5-foot-10 forward from Choteau, Mont., was unanimously voted as a first-team all-conference selection. Breen is averaging 16.5 points, 5.5 rebounds, and 2.3 assists per game. She is shooting 43.5 percent from the field, 38.9 percent from the 3-point arc, and 76.3 percent from the free-throw line. This season, Breen scored a career-high 37 points in the first game of the year at home against Academy of Art (Nov. 13, 2015). She collected a career-high 17 rebounds in the game at Alaska on Jan. 2, 2016.

The junior surpassed 1,000 career points this season, and has scored 1,115 which ties her with No. 20 all-time at MSUB Michelle Lieber (2005-07). Of those points, 328 of them are at the free-throw line, which makes Breen third all-time in free-throws for the Yellowjackets. Breen has also collected 510 career rebounds which lists her at No. 19 all-time at MSUB. Last season, Breen was named to the GNAC honorable mention team. She was also just named for the second consecutive season as a GNAC all-academic team selection with a 3.71 cumulative grade point average in health and human performance. Olson, a 5-foot-10 forward from Billings, Mont., was selected to a GNAC all-conference team for a third time. The Billings West graduate earned first-team recognition in the 2013-14 season and was an honorable mention selection in 2012-13. After tearing her ACL and sitting out a season, Olson has returned to the court and climbed her way back to second in the GNAC in rebounding with 8.3 per game. She is also averaging 7.3 points and 1.5 assists this season. Last Saturday, Olson became the all-time leading rebounder in the MSUB women’s program, exceeding the previous record held by Robyn Milne (957, 2002-05). Olson has collected 961 in her career and has the potential to add to her total as the Yellowjackets head into the postseason tournament this week. Olson recorded a career-high 18 rebounds this season in a home game against Saint Martin’s on Jan. 7, 2016. That total is a conference season-high this year and places her on the all-time GNAC per game list. Olson has ascended to No. 4 on the GNAC all-time rebounding list, pulling ahead of Western Oregon’s Heather Laats (952, 1998-02) last week. The graduate student in health care administration carries a 3.72 grade point average and this season was named to the GNAC all-academic team for the third time in her career. After earning accolades in being named to the GNAC all-academic team this season for the first time with a 3.70 cumulative grade point average in elementary education, Grimsrud has added to her honors with an all-conference honorable mention nod.
Janiel Olson earned her third all-conference honor.
The 6-foot-1 senior from Montana City, Mont., is a five-year member of the MSUB women’s basketball team, redshirting the 2013-14 season. The dual student-athlete for the Yellowjackets has made the most of being able to focus on basketball this season and has had the best numbers of her career. In five of the past six games, Grimsrud has scored double-digit points and is contributing an average 10.3 per game for MSUB. She is also averaging 2.2 assists, and is fifth in the GNAC in 3-pointers made per game with 1.9. This season, Grimsrud scored a career-high 20 points on Senior Night at MSUB against Concordia (Ore.). She made a career-high four 3-pointers twice this season and has rarely gone the season without a steal. At 110 career steals, Grimsrud needs three more to tie the No. 10 all-time at MSUB Colleen Day (1988-90) at 113. Grimsrud has amassed a career total of 628 points and 392 rebounds. This season, she has already made more 3-pointers (54) than the last three seasons combined (42) for a total of 96. After leading the MSU Billings team to a third-place finish in the conference standings after being voted in the preseason coaches’ poll to finish in a tie for seventh, Coach Woodin was named the 2015-16 GNAC Coach of the Year. The Yellowjackets are 19-9 overall this season and 15-5 in the GNAC. This is Coach Woodin’s fourth Coach of the Year Honor in his 12 seasons at the helm of the Yellowjacket program. During the 2004-05 season, he was named the NCAA Division II Independent Coach of the Year, he was the 2006-07 Heartland Coach of the Year, and Woodin was named the GNAC Women’s Basketball Coach of the Year for the 2013-14 season. Coach Woodin’s teams have excelled academically during his tenure. Under his leadership, the MSUB women’s basketball program has earned seven WBCA (Women’s Basketball Coaches Association) academic top-25 awards and through his 12 seasons, 100 percent of his seniors have graduated.

“Above the academic and athletic successes of his team, his leadership has prepared a community of young women to be leaders of the future and we would like to thank him for his tireless efforts,” Montague said. “We are very proud of all Coach Woodin and our women’s basketball team has achieved this year, and wish them the best of luck at the GNAC Championships this week.” This week, MSU Billings heads to the GNAC postseason tournament taking place March 3-5 in Lacey, Wash., hosted by Saint Martin’s University.

Prevost family legacy lives on within Yellowjacket women’s basketball Tuesday, January 26, 2016 Thirty years after her distant cousin Deb Prevost wrapped up a Hall of Fame career as a Yellowjacket, sophomore guard Lexi Prevost carries on her family’s legacy through MSUB hoops. MSUB SPORTS – Each time sophomore guard Lexi Prevost suits up and takes to the court in Alterowitz Gymnasium, she carries on a legacy at Montana State University Billings representing the type of basketball player that her hometown of Sidney, Mont., yields. Prevost prides herself not on a single aspect of her game, but rather on her will to contribute in whatever way her team needs her most. Some games, that involves providing quality minutes at the point guard position. Others, it is her stubborn defense and tireless effort working against opponents that her team needs most. With the Yellowjackets in first place through the first half of the Great Northwest Athletic Conference schedule with a record of 9-1, the team has played too well for there to be any evidence of a drop-off between starters and key role players like Prevost. While she has yet to lead the team in scoring or have a break-out shooting performance in a single game, the style of play Prevost has brought to the team in her second full season is one that evokes memory of one of the Yellowjackets’ all-time greats. Deb Prevost was inducted into the MSUB Hall of Fame and Distinction a year before Lexi was born, and is quick to recall the adjustment she had to make from playing just one year of high-school basketball in Sidney to competing in college. “The hardest part was to balance everything, because you had to worry about school work and the demands of basketball,” said Deb. “I don’t think there was as big of a jump (to college) when I played as there is now, and I felt I was able to make the transition well.” The numbers Deb recorded from 1975-78 support her claim of a smooth transition, as she stands today as the fifth-leading scorer in MSUB/Eastern Montana College history with 1,540 points. “Deb was a great player and I look up to her a lot because of how well she did here,” said Lexi. “She set a standard for all of the other players to come at MSUB.”

Soon after becoming just the third women’s basketball player inducted into the Hall of Fame in 1994, Deb lent a hand towards developing one of the players for her alma mater’s next generation. Spending time doing individual skill work with her distant cousin, Deb saw the prospects of playing college basketball within Lexi as a younger player. “One thing I liked about her was she was a sponge, and she was willing to listen and learn,” Deb recalled. “She was also very athletic and had a lot of good speed for a high-school player. I knew that if she worked hard, she would become a good player.” Lexi and Deb each credit the former’s attention to detail and persistence in learning the game to her mother, Leigh Merritt, who better remembers what led to the connection of the two relatives. “Lexi’s great grandfather and Deb’s grandfather were brothers, and were two of the three Prevost brothers who came from Quebec and settled in Lambert, Montana,” Merritt explained, simultaneously providing an explanation of the silent ‘T’ in the last name stemming from its roots in a French Canadian territory. “Deb took the time to work with Lexi during the summer on some basketball skills, and it’s nice to see that family connection.” Deb Prevost (left) wearing No. 21 three decades before her cousin Lexi (right) inherited the number for the 'Jackets.
While Deb had an impact on Lexi developing into a collegiate player, it was Merritt who she worked more closely with as a high-school coach in Sidney. “I coached Lexi’s mom and aunt at Sidney so I have more memories of them, but I have always admired Lexi and we have had a good relationship,” Deb said. “The will to win was very strong in Lexi’s mom, and her willingness to work hard has definitely translat-
ed over to Lexi. It runs in the family.” Now wearing No. 21 for the ‘Jackets – just as Deb did three decades ago – Lexi cites her confidence on the court as being most important when facing the tough competition in the GNAC. With her next appearance, Lexi will already match her 18 games played as a freshman a season ago, as she has progressed into a more integral player within MSUB’s lineup this season. “It is nice to see that I am improving, but I still have a lot to work on so I just want to keep working hard,” said Lexi. “The three captains have been really helpful, especially with Monica (Grimsrud) stepping her game up and improving a ton this year. Alisha (Breen) is my roommate and we have a good connection, and having Janiel (Olson) back brings us a lot of experience.” At the center of it all is Yellowjacket head coach Kevin Woodin, who, thanks to his career as a high-school coach, familiarized himself with the Prevost name long before Lexi became proficient at dribbling a basketball. “I met Deb through summer coaching early on after I got to Montana,” Woodin commented. “She would bring her Sidney team to our tournaments at West High in the summer and we crossed paths a lot outside of the season.” Woodin wasn’t initially aware he was collaborating with one of MSUB’s legendary athletes, but as he became more familiar with the university he began to understand the significance of Deb’s career as a Yellowjacket. “I remember seeing her name around the gym and in the record books so I put together that she had been a pretty good player,” Woodin said. “She is a well-respected coach in Montana and had a lot to offer Lexi growing up from a player standpoint as well as the mental side of the game.”

When Lexi made her decision to attend MSUB and Deb learned she would be playing for Woodin, she knew right away that Lexi’s growth at a player had only just begun. “I have always respected Kevin as a coach, and he does a great job of bringing out the potential in players,” said Deb. “I felt like Lexi was going to a place that was going to help her develop her skills not only on the court, but as a person too.” These days, Deb works as a grief recovery specialist and though she has removed herself from active participation in the basketball community, she makes sure to keep tabs on all of her former players including Lexi. “I definitely still watch the papers and see how the Yellowjackets are doing,” Deb said. She doesn’t get to as many games as she used to, but Deb doesn’t need to be an everyday fan to recognize the vast strides her sport has taken since her days pioneering the Title IX movement as a brave, young, female athlete. “To watch the game grow and become its own identity at each level has been fun to see,” Deb said. “Back when I played, we didn’t have leagues separated like they are now, and the improvement in general has been great.” Merritt is still a regular at Alterowitz Gym to watch her daughter compete, and when she can’t make the four-hour drive from the northeast corner of the Big Sky State she tunes into the live broadcasts of the games on MSUB’s Stretch Internet portal. Whether she absorbs the cheers and in-game dialogue from the court-side perspective of one of Alterowitz Gym’s blue seats, or from the comfort of her home, Merritt recognizes that her daughter’s career – as a player and student at MSUB – has been in good hands along the way. For Lexi, in a journey that is still in its opening stages, the opportunity she has now to become the best player she can be is one that reassures her she’s been guided well. “It has taken awhile, but I can definitely see a lot of improvement from last year to this year,” Lexi said. “We are just taking things one game at a time and I just want to help the team out however I can.”

Season Preview: MSUB women’s basketball will be All In for 2016-17 season November 2, 2016 Being led by the GNAC’s Preseason Player of the Year Alisha Breen, the MSUB women’s basketball team is All In for the 2016-17 season. BILLINGS, Mont. – The MSU Billings women’s basketball team will be All In for the 2016-17 season. After advancing to the NCAA Division II national tournament for the second time in three years, the Yellowjackets have their sights set on another appearance in the west region tourney in March. “Last year’s success will definitely help us with this year’s team,” MSUB head coach Kevin Woodin said. “We have a lot of experienced players that got better a year ago as the season progressed, and in turn that had a lot to do with our team getting better each month. Last year we may have surprised some people with how well we did, but from my standpoint every year you need to have high expectations.” Spearheading last year’s offensive success, and returning to the floor this season is senior Alisha Breen. Recently named the Great Northwest Athletic Conference Preseason Player of the Year and a DII Bulletin Preseason Super 16 All-American, Breen led the conference last year averaging 17.4 points per game. The 5-foot-10 forward from Choteau, Mont., has high expectations for herself, but is looking forward to the challenge of leading the Yellowjackets through the season. “I am really looking forward to this year in general,” Breen commented. “I think we have a lot of talented players on the team that have put in a lot of hard work and I think we have the potential to go really far again this year. It’s hard to believe that my senior season is here. I think preseason went by really fast and right now I am noticing a lot of moments where I realize that it will be my last time doing something – my last first game, last appearance at Rocky, all those times where I will be having experiences as a senior. This year I have high expectations for myself and the team, and I also think we have a lot of room to grow and I am excited to see where the year takes us.” “Alisha is one of the top players in our league and region,” Woodin said on his 4-year senior. “What I really admire about her is that in every off-season, she has put in a tremendous amount of work to improve and last summer was no exception. She combines a great skill set and is a versatile player, but it is her intangibles that are as important to our team – leadership, work ethic, and the ability to push her teammates and hold them accountable so that they respect and like her.” www.msubsports.com | @MSUBWBB | 2016-17 MSUB Women’s Basketball Media Guide | 21
Last season Breen was a unanimous GNAC first team selection. She scored 20 or more points in 13 games, topped by a 37-point performance early against Academy of Art that tied her for the seventh best scoring performance in GNAC history. In the GNAC, Breen enters the season No. 13 all-time in career free-throws at 343 with a chance to catch the all-time leader Erin Chambers at 472 (Simon Fraser, 2011-15), and is 116 points from moving into the top-20 in career scoring. At MSUB, Breen enters the season No. 15 all-time in career points at 1,210, No. 20 in rebounds with 529, and third in free-throws with 343. Continuing on the expectations placed for his senior leader, Woodin knows that Breen’s potential is not just in the stat sheet, but in the way she approaches the game. “Expectations for Alisha are situationally driven, she can be close to the basket or on the outside, and she has worked hard to improve her midrange game. Because of how good she is, she will need to adjust to how other teams will guard her.” Joining Breen for her senior campaign is forward Tiana Hanson. The 6-foot native of Shepherd, Mont., transferred to MSUB last season from Sheridan College. As a junior Hanson started 11 games for MSUB and with a year of GNAC experience is returning to the court an experienced and confident player. Last year she was second in the GNAC from the free-throw line, shooting 86.6 percent, contributing 5.3 points and 2.7 rebounds per game. Hanson had a season-best 16 points, including 12-for-13 from the free-throw line, at Concordia (Ore.). “Tiana will play a big role in our team’s success this year,” Woodin said. “She worked hard this summer to improve her physical strength and perimeter shooting. Tiana has always been a great foul shooter, but she also has a confidence and ability to draw contact under the rim. You can’t coach that kind of talent, so I feel fortunate to have that skill set on our team and to see her continue to develop that part of her game.” Senior Forward Tiana Hanson.
The third captain this year for the Yellowjackets is junior Rylee Kane. MSUB’s starting point guard since her freshman campaign, Kane has been a stalwart member of the ‘Jacket program the last two years. Entering her third year at the head of the court, Kane is primed to break out in conference competitions. “I am expecting Rylee to have an outstanding season,” Woodin commented. “She has put in a lot of time to make herself better. She understands the strengths of her team more naturally now, she plays more instinctively, and she has great offensive skills and just needs to take what the defense gives. I expect her to be more aggressive mentally and physically, and I am confident that she will be able to do that.” Kane averaged 7.4 points and 1.4 steals per game last season. She was No. 4 in the GNAC in assists per game at 4.5 and assist/turnover ratio at 1.4. Kane has started and played in every game since her freshman debut. Last year she scored 10 or more points in nine game with a career-high 15-point performance at Cal State San Bernardino. She had a career-best eight assists at home against Alaska Anchorage. Kane has logged 234 career assists and needs 30 more to crack the MSUB career top-10. On this year’s slogan of All In, Coach Woodin sees it as being a representative of what could highlight the entire team. “I felt we needed something that emphasized our entire team while building on last year’s success. Last season we were able to get better throughout the entire season and this year in order for us to take it to the next level it’s important to be ‘All In.’” With the combination of returning players, incoming freshmen, and a JC transfer, the Yellowjackets will need to meld well on the court and be aggressive to have a successful season in the GNAC and against west-region opponents. 22 | 2016-17 MSUB Women’s Basketball Media Guide | @MSUBWBB | www.msubsports.com
The junior class will play a major role in that success. Along with Kane, this year’s juniors include Marissa Van Atta, Vanessa Stavish, Lexi Prevost, and Grace Weeks. Van Atta earned a starting role in January for the ‘Jackets, making her debut as a starter against Alaska with a double-double of 11 points and 11 rebounds. The product of Billings Senior High School, played in all 32 games for MSUB, making her second year with the Yellowjackets a breakout season. Van Atta averaged 7.2 points per game and 3.9 rebounds per game. She led the team in steals and was instrumental in the defensive court. She scored 17 points and made 10 rebounds in the GNAC championship game against Alaska Anchorage and is expected to keep opponents guessing under the rim. “Marissa had an unbelievable year last season,” Woodin said. “She brings high intensity and great length and speed to the floor which makes her a terrific defender. She continues to improve on offense and I know she can impact the game in multiple ways” Stavish saw time in every game as a sophomore and was the ninth-best shooter in the GNAC from the perimeter at 36.6 percent. Stavish scored a season-high 15 points, including a career-best 5-for-6 from the 3-point arc, against Cal Poly Pomona. The 6-foot forward from Frenchtown, Mont., has the ability to spread the defense as she can be effective down low and from outside, and in the off-season has worked on her defense in the interior. “Vanessa is a great perimeter shooter,” Woodin commented. “I am looking forward to watching her play this year as each year she continues to improve her entire game and I know how important she will be to both sides of the court.” Prevost played her best game at Central Washington last year for the Yellowjackets. The guard from Sidney, Mont., saw time in 31 games for MSUB and at CWU, scored 13 points and made two assists. Weeks is the lone transfer for the ‘Jackets this year, joining MSUB from Casper College. The 6-foot-2 forward from Rapid City, S.D., averaged 6.2 points and 3.5 rebounds last season, averaging 14.7 minutes per game. Junior Rylee Kane. “I am very excited for Lexi’s upcoming season,” Woodin commented. “She gives our team tremendous quickness on the perimeter and has the ability to shoot the three as well as penetrate on offense. Grace has a quick and effective shot that will help deepen our forward and post positions. She has picked up our system well as she has a solid foundation and I expect her minutes to increase as she adjusts to the physicality of our league.” Returning for their sophomore seasons with the Yellowjackets are Taylor Edwards and Brina Hull. Edwards is a 5-foot-9 guard from Great Falls, Mont., and Hull is a 5-foot-8 guard from Colstrip, Mont. Edwards made appearances in 29 games for the ‘Jackets, averaging 5.7 minutes per game. She scored 20 points and made 17 assists. Hull made appearances in 17 games during her opening season as a Yellowjacket. Both players will be competing for minutes this season as they return to the floor after a season in the GNAC. “I am really excited to see the progress Taylor has made,” Woodin said. “She can play both the point and shooting guard position and her strengths include shooting from the 3-point arc. She has improved off the dribble game and we are looking for her to be a perimeter defensive leader.” The Yellowjackets added four true freshmen to their roster this season. Taylor Cunningham is a 5-foot-11 forward from Spokane, Wash., Jeanann Lemelin, a 5-foot-6 guard joins MSUB from local Senior High School, Abbie Lohof, a 6-foot forward is from Laurel, Mont., and Sophia Wass comes to MSUB as a 6’1” forward from Manhattan, Mont. www.msubsports.com | @MSUBWBB | 2016-17 MSUB Women’s Basketball Media Guide | 23
“I am pleased with our incoming freshman class as they have great overall work ethic, and a strong desire to learn,” Woodin said on the incoming quartet. “They’ve improved a lot since early fall and I am hopeful that at least a couple of them will develop to the point they can help with our rotations.” Assisting the program for her third season is Jenny Heringer. Joining the Yellowjacket coaching staff as a volunteer assistant is former GNAC Player of the Year and All-American Bobbi Knudsen. The Yellowjackets open their regular season with a 3-game swing in California. MSUB begins on Nov. 11, with last year’s west region runner-up UC San Diego, then follows with tilts against Cal State San Marcos and Point Loma. MSU Billings begins its regular season at home welcoming regional opponents Northern State and Cal Poly Pomona Nov. 18-19 during the Yellowjacket Classic. The ‘Jackets open conference play on the road Dec. 1, at Northwest Nazarene. In the conference preseason coaches’ poll, the Yellowjackets were selected to finish fourth. “I really like our schedule this year,” Woodin said. “We will be tested early with the three games in California and then coming home it won’t be any easier with the teams we will play at home in Northern State and Cal Poly Pomona. I feel the GNAC will again be loaded with exceptional team. The past couple of years I feel the depth has gotten even better, but I do believe we have the potential to be in the thick of the conference race if we stay healthy and continue to improve each and every week in practice.” All home games and select road games this season will be broadcast live on GNAC.tv through MSUB's Stretch Internet portal here. Jeff Rosenberry and Aaron Like will return as MSUB's commentators for the live internet stream. New this season, a dozen MSUB men's and women's games will be broadcast live on ESPN Radio 910 KBLG in Billings, with Dustin Daniel on the play-by-play call.

Yellowjacket women tabbed fourth in GNAC coaches’ poll October 19, 2016 The MSUB women’s basketball team has been tabbed fourth in the GNAC preseason coaches’ poll after finishing last season as the GNAC tournament’s runner-up. PORTLAND, Ore. – When the MSUB women’s basketball team returns to the court to open their conference season, the Yellowjackets will carry a preseason Great Northwest Athletic Conference coaches’ poll ranking of fourth. After finishing third in the regular season last year and second at the conference tournament, MSUB returns four players who had starting roles to a team that finished with a 21-11 overall record and 15-5 in the GNAC. Earning the top spot in the poll, Western Washington collected six first-place votes, Simon Fraser was second (one first-place vote), and Alaska Anchorage third (four firstplace votes). The top three teams were separated by just nine points as the coaches predict a tight-conference race for the highest GNAC spots. Senior Alisha Breen will helm the MSUB program’s prospects. The 5’10” forward was a unanimous first team all-GNAC selection last season and was named a preseason Super 16 All-American by the WDII Bulletin two weeks ago. The native of Choteau, Mont., led the league in points at 17.4 per game, including two games of 30 or more points and a 31-point performance during the NCAA tournament game at Azusa Pacific. Juniors Rylee Kane and Marissa Van Atta and senior Tiana Hanson all performed starting roles last season for the ‘Jackets. Kane started every game and was No. 4 in the GNAC in assists with 4.5 per game. Van Atta was second on the team in steals with 52 while Hanson was second in the GNAC from the free-throw line shooting 71-for-82 for 86.6 percent. The Yellowjackets will need to replace rebounds and points from GNAC honorable mention honorees last season Janiel Olson and Monica Grimsrud. Olson finished her collegiate career as No. 1 all-time at MSUB in rebounds with 1,001. She is eighth in steals with 178. Grimsrud is 10th in career steals at 84 and last season contributed 10.1 points per game with 4.1 rebounds. “I am really looking forward to the upcoming season,” MSUB head coach Kevin Woodin said. “We have multiple returning players with experience and I think we have some solid new players too. I am not concerned with where we are ranked now, only where we are ranked at the end. I really enjoy coaching this team and believe we have great potential and can’t wait to get started. The GNAC is loaded again with great teams and the race for the GNAC championship should be an exciting one.” MSU Billings opens its season with an alumni game this Friday, Oct. 21, at 7 p.m. The exhibition contest is free and open to the public. MSU Billings then plays two exhibition games in Billings. On Oct. 31, MSUB heads across town to face Rocky Mountain College at 7 p.m., followed by a doubleheader night with the Yellowjackets men’s team against Montana Tech on Nov. 4. The women open the double billings against the Orediggers at 5:30 p.m., with the men’s teams taking to the court at 7:30 p.m. The Yellowjackets open their conference season on the road with contests against Northwest Nazarene on Thursday, Dec. 1, then travelling to Central Washington for a game on Saturday, Dec. 3.

New Faces: MSUB women’s basketball freshman Taylor Edwards Tuesday, January 5, 2016 Growing up in Great Falls, Mont., Yellowjacket women’s basketball freshman Taylor Edwards bringing fresh, competitive energy to program in first season at MSUB. MSUB SPORTS – Taylor Edwards still has the first basketball she ever held, a gift from her grandfather Reid Edwards as a present on her third birthday. One of the toughest things the Montana State University Billings women’s basketball freshman has had to endure was the passing of Reid when she was in high school, but the now worn-down Wilson basketball carries more significance than ever. “It has meant a lot to me,” Edwards commented on the ball. “I wouldn’t be where I am today without him and without that ball.” Coming from a sports-oriented family, where friendly competition sprouted up around every corner, Edwards credits her siblings, older brothers Reid and Royce in particular, with shaping her competitive spirit. Being the second-youngest of seven total children of Jim and Lisa Edwards never discouraged Taylor on the platform of the playing field, whether it was volleyball, softball, track and field or the hardwood. The skills Edwards began naturally developing through her upbringing have shone through as some of her most valuable traits today as a collegiate player. “Two of Taylor’s greatest assets are her versatility and her competitiveness,” commented MSUB head coach Kevin Woodin. “She played primarily a 2 guard in high school, but she has been asked to play both point and shooting guard this year. She plays with great intensity and is a great teammate and person.” Edwards has played in all 12 of MSUB’s games this season, and is averaging 7.6 minutes off of the bench in her first season at the Division II level. The concept of living away from her home 3.5 hours away, where she spent time watching women’s college basketball on TV and dreaming about her chance to play one day, was overwhelming at first. But a semester into her time studying health and human performance and competing for the ‘Jackets has helped reassure Edwards that she picked the perfect university.

“It was hard at first because I love being at home and my family so much, but so far it has grown me as a person and I have gotten used to being a lot more independent,” said Edwards. “I love it here. I am figuring out who I am and what I want to do, and am making big life decisions on my own.” Edwards has grown so accustomed to her new surroundings at MSUB, that when the team split ways for the mandatory seven-day winter break, she suddenly struggled with putting her college experience on hold. “Going home for break was actually hard, because I knew I would miss my family back here,” Edwards said referring to her teammates. “We have a great bond that sports creates within a team, and I would do anything for any one of them.” A hint of brilliance from Edwards during her prep career caught Woodin’s eye while he was recruiting, as she scored 30 points in a playoff game as a senior against Skyview High School in Billings. The standout effort in a pressure situation is what captivated Woodin the most, and prompted him to continue the theme of filling his roster with Montanans. Beyond her proven abilities on the court however, Woodin cited that her personality and character were two more key reasons he thought she would fit in well with the Yellowjackets. “Her positive attitude is contagious, she is very coachable and plays extremely hard,” Woodin said. “It is easy for me to tell that she believes in her team first, and is committed to doing whatever it takes to make her team win.” As Edwards began distributing highlight videos her senior season at Charles M. Russell High School, her only true consideration was that attending college in Montana and remaining close to home was something she valued greatly. While MSUB was not originally on her radar, Edwards remembers pulling out an old Yellowjacket Basketball t-shirt that she acquired along the way at a camp as a child as sparking interest. “It hadn’t really crossed my mind at the time, but I put MSUB on my list and started thinking about coming here,” Edwards commented on the rediscovery of the old shirt. “I just love it here (in Montana) and knew that I didn’t want to leave.” Edwards got her first taste of the level of competition in the Great Northwest Athletic Conference and the NCAA Division II, as she has played in all four of MSUB’s conference games in the team’s early 3-1 start to GNAC play. Unsure of what to expect, Edwards had to get caught up to speed quickly as the ‘Jackets played a difficult preseason schedule including two games against teams ranked in the top-25. Last week, Edwards made the journey to Alaska where the ‘Jackets split with a loss at No. 5 Alaska Anchorage and a victory in Fairbanks against UAF. “The preseason was definitely hard and when we finally hit conference games it was great,” Edwards said. “I love how hard we work together as a team.” Keeping up with school work while adhering to her demanding schedule as a student-athlete has not overwhelmed Edwards, and she hopes to one day use her degree from MSUB to become a teacher and a coach after her playing days. In terms of her goals for the season, Edwards has shown maturity by tackling the year with a daily routine focused on continually getting better.

“You never know what to expect until you go in and start competing every day, and I have just tried to get better as a teammate and as an individual,” Edwards said. “I have listened to what Coach Woodin has said and tried to apply it to my game every day. My focus is on taking it day-byday and getting better individually.” As Edwards’ journey as a Yellowjacket is just beginning, Woodin is optimistic about the freshman’s potential to thrive within MSUB’s system as well. Her work ethic in practice is a big part of why she has a strong upside, as Woodin has noticed her relentless attitude towards growing as a young player. “I am confident that Taylor will put in the extra time needed to improve as a player,” Woodin said. “We need Taylor to continue to improve and be ready when she is called upon this season. In regard to her future, offseason improvement will be critical, and then performing at a confident level in games will be a must.” For now, Edwards will cherish her opportunity to carry on her family’s competitive spirit on the court for the Yellowjackets. She never could have guessed what her grandfather’s gift would come to represent, but today it holds strong as a symbol of a promising young career for the Yellowjackets.

Olson overcomes odds, owns one-of-a-kind career for ‘Jackets Tuesday, March 1, 2016 Five years into her career with MSUB, senior Janiel Olson overcomes an ACL and does it all from setting the school’s rebounding record, to earning GNAC Defensive Player of the Year, to being a one-of-a-kind leader for the ‘Jackets. MSUB SPORTS – The first time Mary and Hal Olson set foot inside a college basketball gymnasium, a high-school-age Janiel Olson was by their side, eyes least wide of the three as she gathered in her surroundings at Alterowitz Gym on the Montana State University Billings campus. Billings natives, Mary and Hal had never considered themselves sports fans, let alone athletes. Neither had played any sports competitively, and the territory they had entered seemed much more foreign to the owner of a local body shop and a 30-year banking industry veteran than it did to their daughter. “We never had a connection to MSUB, but we came here when she was a junior or senior in high school to watch a game,” Hal remembered. “It was such a big change, the way that the team worked together. It was the first eye-opener that college was going to be a big step.” Olson had offers at numerous other schools by her senior year, and freshly printed letters of intent begged for her signature. She even considered giving the United States Military Academy at West Point a shot, but Hal feared that if she strayed to New York, completed school and the mandatory five years of service afterwards, he would never see his daughter again. When Olson walked through the blue doors to Alterowitz Gym with her parents that evening, she carried an impressive resume from Billings West High School along with her. She was a four-year letterwinner in basketball, and played her way to first-team all-league and all-state honors in her prep career. Although she never could have realized it at the time, that first evening at Alterowitz was an introduction to the place she would spend the most time over the next five years.
58 | 2016-17 MSUB Women’s Basketball Media Guide | @MSUBWBB | www.msubsports.com
The place where she would learn what it meant to be part of a team and play for the people closest to you. The place where she’d grow into the best defensive player in the Great Northwest Athletic Conference, and help a team of unlikely heroes overcome unimaginable adversity and compete in one of the most memorable postseason runs in school history. The place where she felt more alone and helpless than she could have possibly imagined, the game she loved taking away her livelihood as she knew it in an instant. The place where she’d hold a clipboard on the bench for an entire season, gaining perspective and battling through the toughest year and a half of her life. The place where the 5-foot-9 forward would defy odds and bring down more rebounds than any other woman in MSUB history. The place that has her parents’ seats on permanent lease, Row D, Seats 17-20 on the far side diagonal from the Yellowjackets’ bench. It is there that Mary and Hal have witnessed the growth of one of the best basketball players in MSUB history before their very eyes. PLAYING PIG TO HOOPS ON THE WEST COAST
Mary and Hal Olson in attendance at Alterowitz Gym during a game in their daughter’s senior season with the ‘Jackets.
Olson remembers being in second grade, the thump of a leather basketball on the ground drawing her attention to the backyard where her father and older brother James were engaged in a rousing game of PIG. It wasn’t long before seven-year-old Janiel forced her way into the games, but the tears came quickly upon her inevitable defeat to her vertical superiors. “They never took it easy on me,” Olson said with a smile. “When I was older in fifth grade, I got to practice with my brother’s team. I enjoyed playing against boys.” By the time Olson reached middle school, her parents recognized the need for more formal instruction and entrusted her development to coaches Katie and Mike Smart with a local traveling basketball team. “Katie is one of the best coaches I have ever had, and is one of the first who figured out how to motivate me and get me to play hard,” Olson said. “Mike was the same way. I wouldn’t be half the player I am now if I didn’t get put on that team.” Under the guidance of the Smarts, Olson developed into a versatile player who was ready for any position on the floor by the time she reached West High. As a senior, Olson helped the Bears to a Class AA state title and had developed a knack for rebounding through her persistent, diligent work ethic. “I never had one position that I was completely focused on excelling at,” Olson commented on shifting from 1-through-5 during her prep career. “Each year I worked on something different, and my position kept changing.” While Olson’s high-school career prepared her well for college, nothing could substitute for the experience she had spending a summer with an Amateur Athletic Union (AAU) basketball team in California. During a trip to Arizona with her grandmother Jean, Olson was introduced to AAU coach Brian Crichlow during a camp at the University of Arizona. When he offered Olson a spot on his team, she couldn’t wait to call her parents and inform them of her plans for the summer. Mary and Hal were a bit slower to convince. “She called us and said she was going to California to play,” said Mary. “We were pretty hesitant at first. I don’t care how old your kid is, you don’t want to let her go for three months in a place where she doesn’t know anybody.” www.msubsports.com | @MSUBWBB | 2016-17 MSUB Women’s Basketball Media Guide | 59
Hal agreed to travel to California with Janiel to scout the scene, and was quickly convinced upon arriving that his daughter would be in good hands. “Brian was just a first-class guy,” Hal said. “In a weekend’s time, she met a coach she would live with and nine new girls she had never played with before who she had to be on a team with. For her development and lifelong lessons, it was the best thing that could have happened to her.” Landing in the middle of Los Angeles, Olson quickly adopted the nickname ‘Montana’ and was thrown into the fire in one of the most competitive leagues along the West Coast. The old-school, hard-nosed style of basketball quickly grew on Olson, who worked on sinking her jumper through hoops with metal chain-nets and battling for boards against players who showed no mercy. “The first few weeks I was just getting worked on and beat up, and those girls were so tough,” Olson said. “But that’s a huge reason why I came back my senior year as a better rebounder and the ability to play serious defense.” With newfound confidence that she could take on the toughest players on her opponents’ teams, Olson returned to Billings for her final year before college having taken her game to the next level.

I was looking forward to her getting older and playing for me one day. She had been on my radar for years.” – MSUB head coach Kevin Woodin on his first encounters with Janiel Olson at youth basketball camps. As Olson’s fondness for basketball grew, she began attending girls’ basketball games at West High and idolizing the players under the guidance of then-head coach Kevin Woodin. Now in his 12th year at MSUB and a four-time conference coach of the year, Woodin still freshly remembers characteristics Olson possessed that signaled she could excel at the NCAA Division II level with the ‘Jackets. “I remember seeing Janiel break her nose as a sophomore and then watching her play in the state tournament with a mask on,” Woodin said. “I was impressed with how hard she continued to compete despite that injury. I started formally recruiting her during her junior year of high school.”
60 | 2016-17 MSUB Women’s Basketball Media Guide | @MSUBWBB | www.msubsports.com
Though Woodin was unsure if he would lose Olson to the lure of a new adventure away from home at West Point, she ultimately committed to the ‘Jackets and became part of one of the top recruiting classes the veteran coach has ever had. Along with Olson, eventual All-American Kayleen Goggins, Quinn Peoples, Annie DePuydt, and Monica Grimsrud all committed to enter the program as freshmen together in the fall of 2011. “I had played against Kayleen and Monica before, and the summer before freshman year I played against Annie in the Treasure State Games,” Olson remembered with a smile. “I had this really annoying defender guarding me all game, and I had no idea that it was Annie. After the game Coach Woodin introduced us and that was the first time we had met.” Immediately slotting in as a starter in MSUB’s lineup, Olson averaged 8.2 rebounds over 25.9 minutes in her first season while also contributing 6.0 points per game. She never looked back after that, earning honorable mention all-GNAC honors as a sophomore with 9.0 rebounds per game, and then developing into the GNAC Defensive Player of the Year and garnering first-team honors by leading the league with 9.7 rebounds per game as a junior. “That court out there reveals a totally different person than who I am outside of it,” said Olson. “Getting rebounds requires hard work, and they are something you have to earn. It can be a dirty grind under the hoop, but I love to battle it out down there. I got so tired of being Olson and head coach Kevin Woodin embrace after she exits her final career game at Alterowitz Gym kicked down and told I wasn’t tall enough that I wanted to go in there and prove people on Feb. 13, 2016. wrong.” INTO THE DARKNESS AND BACK “I didn’t see it happen, I just heard her go down and start screaming. There was no doubt in my mind I needed to be running out onto the court, and I knew what I’d find when I got out there,” – MSUB athletic trainer Lindsay Sullivan on the moment Janiel Olson tore her ACL. On Feb. 20, 2014, Mary and Hal gathered around a computer at their home in Billings to watch the ‘Jackets take on Western Oregon University in an evening GNAC game just as they had done numerous times before. With the GNAC-leading ‘Jackets well on their way to victory, time wound down in the second half and the teams got set to shake hands at center court. MSUB athletic trainer Lindsay Sullivan began to pack up her medical kit, assistant coach Jenny Heringer collected the team’s white board and checked her surroundings on the team bench, and Western Oregon’s broadcasters began wrapping up the evening’s game. Then Mary heard something she’d never heard before. She’d been there for every tear of frustration her daughter had shed as she came back into the house on the losing side of a game of PIG. She’d been there for plenty of screams from the yard when her dad and brother refused to let her win. But this was different. “It was the last seconds, and the camera started buffering, and then we heard the scream,” Mary recalled. “I said to Hal, ‘that was Janiel.’” The game clock read 0.4 seconds for more than 10 minutes, as Sullivan knelt over Olson and tried to breathe some sort of solace into a situation she knew couldn’t be much worse.

The toughest months of Olson’s life awaited her, a time where she would find out what she was truly made of. The ‘Jackets returned home and closed the season with two wins, clinching the GNAC title and cutting down the nets on their home floor at Alterowitz Gym. “I told myself I was going to climb up the ladder and cut my own piece of the net,” Olson said. “I looked down and there were seven people standing around me to make sure I wouldn’t fall. That was really hard because I was at the point where I couldn’t take care of myself at all.” It was Olson’s first moment of realization that she no longer had the independence that had come to define her as a person. But with the season far from over, Olson was determined to do what she had always done and defy the doubt. Earning a berth into the NCAA West Region Championships hosted at Cal Poly Pomona, Olson was adamant that she could contribute on the court in the transition phase between her injury and surgery. Inserted into the team’s first game to make a long-court pass in the dying seconds of a victory, Olson tasted accomplishment and for the first time since being hurt felt like she contributed something to the team.

In her second appearance however, a bad landing on a rebound attempt worsened her injury as her previously-intact Medial Collateral Ligament had given way leaving her with no ligamentous support in her knee. “Everyone knew that I was playing on an injured knee, and when it happened I tried to scoot myself off the court because I didn’t want people staring at me,” Olson said. “Lindsay and I had a deal that no matter what happened, I would walk off that court.”
Olson’s first week after surgery was a blur. The most basic life skills evaded Olson, and her routine CrossFit workouts and extra shooting sessions couldn’t have felt further out of reach. She knew that if she didn’t handle her recovery the right way, she might never have the chance to play basketball again. Alterowitz Gym became Olson’s safe haven and prison cell all at the same time. In a world of uncertainty, the only guarantee was that Sullivan, DePuydt – who had also torn her ACL that season – and countless band exercises awaited her on a daily basis. “As far as meeting expectations, Janiel was here every day for several hours a day,” Sullivan said. “I cannot imagine either her or Annie going through rehab and recovery without one another.” “Lindsay would come in on holidays, and she was there for me every day,” Olson said. “Half the time I know I wasn’t the prettiest person to be around, but Lindsay was the one person who treated me like I was still the athlete I was before tearing my ACL. She didn’t let me make any excuses or feel bad for myself, even when I was crying or mad.” While Olson cites the rehabilitation and exhausting exercises as the toughest thing she’s ever had to endure, she was confident that her hard work would result in her returning to the court the following season. When she found out that her body was not going to be ready for the full-on contact in a basketball game, Olson felt her world sucked out from under her once again. “In September I found out I was going to have to redshirt that season, and it really brought me down,” said Olson. “It became real when the team left for its first road trip of the season and they left me behind. In December I hit rock bottom.” Never had Olson felt as purposeless as she did while missing her first season ever since she began playing. The full magnitude of her life-changing setback didn’t hit until the Yellowjackets took to the court with No. 22 absent from their lineup.

“It was actually a sense of relief because deep down I knew she wasn’t ready,” Sullivan commented on the decision for Olson to sit out for the 2014-15 season. “It wasn’t because we didn’t think she could go out and play, but she had spent the last eight months rehabbing, not getting ready to play a basketball game. You can only do so much to prepare for the rigors of what an actual game is going to be like.” UN-BRACE YOURSELF Nineteen months after picking herself up off of the court at Kellogg Gym in Pomona, Olson played what felt like her first-ever basketball game. Hosting the No. 3 team in the country in Cal Baptist, Olson started and scored one point with seven rebounds in 23 minutes on Nov. 13, 2015 at Alterowitz Gym. There was No. 22, back in the lineup where she was supposed to be, but it was no secret that it wasn’t Janiel Olson. Both legs fully wrapped in neoprene, the sense of hesitation lingered around her every move on the court. “I made it through all of the hard preseason workouts, but when I started playing games, I wasn’t playing like I used to,” said Olson. Gone was the fearless warrior who laid out for every ball, willing herself to be better than her opponent through sheer toughness. She had done everything Sullivan had prescribed and more, but there was something Olson couldn’t shake that was holding her back. Olson poses with Sullivan in her first full game in the summer before “After one her senior season. game she sat there in the locker room crying, telling me she needed to do her entire workout routine and more of all her exercises,” Sullivan said. “She said I’m not the same. I told her, ‘Jan, it’s not your leg or body, it’s your head. You need to play your style of game.’” As the ‘Jackets prepared to host Saint Martin’s University in the first home game of 2016, Olson had a rendezvous with her old coach Katie Smart, who offered up the most simple yet important advice she had received since returning to the court: Lose the brace. Having been cleared by her doctor and Sullivan to play without the brace, it took an extra push from the latter to force Olson to leave it down in the locker room on game day against the Saints. That night, Olson brought down a career-high 18 rebounds, and averaged a dozen over her next seven games. Janiel was back. “It was the last thing I needed to do to be as close as I could to the normal player I was before I got hurt,” Olson said regarding removing her brace. “The edge and ferocity came back. I started playing free and things started to change.”

GO AND GET IT “That’s just the way Janiel is. If you tell her she can’t, she’ll show you she can.” – Hal Olson on his daughter Janiel. In the time Olson spent recovering from her injury, she managed to complete her bachelor’s degree and has started on MSUB’s master’s program in healthcare administration. Even on the days she felt most vulnerable, she forced herself to go to class and never lost sight of her goals. On Wednesday Olson will head to Lacey, Wash., for the fourth GNAC Championship tournament of her life. This time, Mary and Hal will be there to watch the last part of their daughter’s career first hand. “It is really neat to see her back playing at the level she’s at now,” Hal said. “The physical part healed up quicker, but the mental side of it was the real issue. For her to come back and now set the school record for rebounding is just a testament to how hard she has worked year-in and year-out.” Both parents agreed that when they see Olson hit the floor fighting hard for a rebound under the hoop, they can’t help but worry. But every elbow she absorbs and body she collides with is a reminder that there is no obstacle Janiel Olson cannot overcome. Hal will undoubtedly reminisce this week back to the days of PIG, when Janiel refused to give up and ultimately started beating her dad and brother. “We always told them, if you want something, go and get it,” Hal said proudly. “Both of our kids have been determined to get what they want, and have worked hard to do so.” Nine hundred and sixty-one times Olson has taken her father’s advice, gone out and gotten the ball after a missed shot. The record-breaking number doesn’t even begin to tell her story.

Women’s basketball review: NCAA tournament appearance highlights 2015-16 season April 7, 2016 The MSU Billings women’s basketball team is entering the record books in several all-time categories as a program this year, including season totals in 3-pointers and free-throws. BILLINGS, Mont. – The 2015-16 season for MSUB women’s basketball was punctuated with the team’s second national tournament appearance in the last three years. It was also the fourth 20-plus win season for the 2015-16 GNAC Coach of the Year Kevin Woodin. Voted to finish in a tie for seventh in the preseason GNAC coaches’ poll, the Yellowjackets exceeded early expectations, finishing with a thirdplace result in the conference, played for the conference tournament championship game, and were selected for the NCAA Division II national tournament in Azusa, Calif. The Yellowjackets opened their regular season hosting the GNAC PacWest Yellowjacket Challenge with Cal Baptist and Academy of Art. The ‘Jackets lost their first game and in a heart-breaker fell to the Urban Knights 69-67 on a buzzer-beating layup that was a reverse of fortune from two years ago when MSUB beat AAU by one at the west region tournament in Pomona, Calif. Keeping up its west region competition, MSUB travelled to California for games against Cal Poly Pomona in which the team did avenge a loss to the Broncos from two years ago at the west region title game. The Yellowjackets scored a season-high 12 3-pointers in the win at a 52.2 percent clip (12-23). MSUB lost its next game to Cal State San Bernardino, but returned home to Billings with a renewed sense of team-purpose. This season, the Yellowjackets benefited from the leadership of two fifth-year seniors in Janiel Olson and Monica Grimsrud. Olson suffered an ACL tear during the end of the 2013-14 campaign and was unable to fully compete in the NCAA tournament in Pomona, Calif. After having surgery following the season, Olson made the decision to redshirt the next season to allow her complete recovery. Grimsrud redshirted the 2013-14 season after coming off a volleyball season to fully heal several nagging injuries that had been plaguing her. The decision from both players to return for the 2015-16 season paid-off in large dividends for both players and was a huge benefit for the team and the MSUB women’s basketball program. www.msubsports.com | @MSUBWBB | 2016-17 MSUB Women’s Basketball Media Guide | 65
Olson returned to the court for her last campaign as a Yellowjackets No. 8 all-time at MSUB in rebounds with 730. In 25 regular season game, she would need to average a little over nine rebounds per game to catch the all-time record holder Robyn Milne (2002-05) at 957. By the beginning of January, Olson was averaging 6.7, but three big games on the road pushed the senior up to an 8.5 average. At home against Saint Martin’s, Olson reached a career-high 18 rebounds. She followed that up with a 14 and 12 rebounding game performance. During the last game of the regular season at Central Washington, Olson surpassed Milne to become the all-time rebounder with 961 total rebounds. In Lacey, WA, during the first round of the tournament against Northwest Nazarene, Olson tied the GNAC tournament record with 17. After the three games in Lacey, Olson had accumulated 991, for nine shy of breaking into quadruple digits. Olson got it done in the first round of the NCAA tournament against Azusa Pacific with a 10 rebound performance to finish her career with 1,001 total rebounds. She also become the No. 4 leading rebounder in the conference joining an elite group who have collected more than 1,000 career rebounds. Olson ended the season second in the GNAC in rebounding average at 8.5 per game. She was also third on the team in points with 7.7 per game. She had five double-doubles, including a 14-point, 12-rebounding performance against Tarleton State. Olson also finished up No. 8 all-time in career steals at MSUB with 178. Her 271 season rebounds ties her for eighth in a single season at MSUB with Alicia Cahill from 1996-97. The Billings West High School graduate leaves her mark on the team, including being honored as a two-time GNAC Honorable Mention team, GNAC Defensive Player of the Year, GNAC First Team, and three-time GNAC all-academic. Along with Olson, Grimsrud returned to the MSUB women’s basketball program as a graduate student. After exhausting her athletic eligibility in volleyball, Grimsrud finished her career as a Yellowjackets solely able to focus on basketball. The extra attention, and ability to rest during the fall, provided Grimsrud with the opportunity to invest herself in Yellowjacket basketball and it became evident early in the season what a difference that would make. The native of Montana City, Mont., recorded her best statistical season of basketball, earning her way on to the GNAC honorable mention team. She finished the year second on the team averaging 10.1 points per game. During Senior Night against Concordia (Ore.), the forward poured in a career-high 20 points. She was MSUB’s biggest 3-point threat from the outside with 1.8 per game. Grimsrud had three games of four 3-pointers and was clutch from the arc, including a big performance against Tarleton State and the basket against Western Washington at home that iced the game. Inside, Grimsrud became the player that was the solid lynch-pin for the MSUB defense. Her post presence was crucial for the ‘Jackets this year. She had 41 steals and 21 blocks during the season. For her career, Grimsrud finishes No. 6 all-time in blocked shots with 84, and is tied for 10th in steals with Kelli Kenyon (1984-87) at 116. The 6-foot-1 versatile player also entered the MSUB record books at No. 27 all-time in rebounds with 416. MSUB opened GNAC competition at home with two solid win over Central Washington and Northwest Nazarene to start conference competition at 2-0. The team next took their longest road trip of the GNAC to Alaska, dropping a game against the nationally-ranked Alaska Anchorage, but rebounded with a win at Alaska that kicked-off an 8-game GNAC win streak that didn’t end until facing the Seawolves at home at the end of January. During that time the Yellowjackets won an important home stand with a win against Western Washington (53-47) and against Simon Fraser (67-62) that kept MSUB in a tie for first place in the conference with UAA. In front of an electric crowd at Alterowitz during the battle between the two-first place teams, the ‘Jackets were within three with 5:53 left in the game, but an end-of-the-game scoring surge kept the Seawolves ahead. In an historic first for the program, this year the Yellowjackets hosted a ROOT SPORTS GNAC Game of the Week at Alterowitz. Although both the men’s and women’s teams have been part of ROOT SPORTS games on the road, this season marked the first time the network made a trip to Billings to broadcast the game throughout the northwestern United States. The game was also this year’s 10th annual Think Pink Night in partnership with the St. Vincent Healthcare’s EVA Project in which proceeds are given to the local community outreach program that assists local women with free education and mammograms.

MSU Billings led the game by 14 at half-time against the Wolves and finished off the night with a 65-48 victory. Two days later, MSUB hosted Senior Night against the GNAC’s newest member Concordia (Ore.). MSUB held out for a 20-point 65-45 win over the Cavaliers in the team’s last night at home during the season. The Yellowjackets finished the regular season with four conference road games. In a heart-breaker, MSUB fell on free-throws with under a second left at Simon Fraser, but in an important game, beat Western Washington on the road 48-46 to move back up a game in the league standings behind the Vikings. In the final two games on the road, MSUB needed to win both and have WWU drop one game to earn the second-place bye at the conference tournament. Although the ‘Jackets won the first game at Northwest Nazarene 74-55, Central Washington played lightsout during its Senior Night for a 69-55 victory. With the loss, MSUB finished the regular season third, and headed into the tournament to play the sixth-seeded Northwest Nazarene. In Lacey, Wash., the Crusaders led for the first 35 minutes of the game before a 3-pointer from Alisha Breen put MSUB up by one, 55-54. MSUB was able to hold on to the lead the rest of way for the 70-65 win. Next up, MSUB headed for a show-down with the second seed Western Washington. The Vikings jumped out to a 7-0 lead in the opening two minutes before a 3-pointer from Grimsrud clipped the run. Staying strong, the ‘Jackets responded with a 9-2 run to tie the game. The teams were tied at 16 at the end of the first quarter, but a free-throw from MSUB’s Vanessa Stavish in the second quarter gave the Yellowjackets a lead they wouldn’t relinquish for the remainder of the game. A 3-pointer from Olson in the middle of the second quarter put MSUB up by 12, 28-16, as the Yellowjackets forged ahead, holding a double-digit lead for the rest of the game. With the win, MSU Billings earned a spot in the conference championship game against Alaska Anchorage and a chance to compete for the GNAC’s automatic bid into the NCAA Division II national tournament. The ‘Jackets were in striking distance at half-time at 35-30, but the Seawolves picked up the scoring pace in the second half, outscoring MSUB 42-37. Finishing the runner-up at the GNAC tournament, the Yellowjackets awaited their fate for a spot into the NCAA national tournament. On announcement night, the team gathered to watch. For the second time in three years, the Yellowjackets were selected for the NCAA Division II national tournament with an at-large bid. MSUB earned the No. 8 seed and were headed to California to play host and No. 1 seed Azusa Pacific. In their third season of postseason eligibility, the Cougars were awarded hosting duties for the NCAA west region tournament. In the first round game, MSUB was down by 10 at half-time to APU, 39-29, but was able to close that down to three on an 8-0 run, 55-52, with 8:16 remaining in the game. The Cougars retaliated with back-to-back 3-pointers and a jump shot to quickly move back ahead. The Yellowjackets fought to the end, closing to within four points, 79-74, with under a minute left, but clutch free-throw shooting kept Azusa Pacific in front to the end. The loss ended the season for MSUB as the Yellowjackets finished with a 21-11 overall record. Breen had 31 points in the game, her second-highest career total. She scored a career-high five 3-pointers, more than half of MSUB’s total. Breen finished the season leading the GNAC in points with 17.4 per game. The 5-foot-10 forward from Choteau, Mont., was a unanimous first team all-GNAC selection after beginning the year as a preseason all-GNAC pick. Breen had just six games under 10 points. She scored a career-high 37 against Academy of Art during the GNAC PacWest Yellowjacket Challenge and had 31 in the NCAA tournament game against Azusa Pacific. The junior played the 29th most minutes per game (36.4) in NCAA Division II and finished the year ranked No. 42 in field goals made. She pulled-in a career-high 17 rebounds in the win at Alaska and recorded three double-doubles during the season, including in Las Vegas against No. 23 Quincy. One of three team captains for the Yellowjackets, her leadership and experience on the court was invaluable down the stretch. In just her third year with the team, Breen eclipsed the 1,000 career-point mark at Alterowitz in the game against Alaska Anchorage. She has amassed 1,210 career points for No. 15 all-time at MSUB and 529 rebounds for No. 20. Breen’s consistent shooting at the free-throw line, combined with her ability to draw contact under the rim, has pushed her to accumulate 433 total free-throws – 144 behind No. 1 Sherry McQuinn at 577 (199193). She needs 26 additional career steals and 23 more 3-pointers to enter the MSUB top-10 in those categories. www.msubsports.com | @MSUBWBB | 2016-17 MSUB Women’s Basketball Media Guide | 67
During the 2015-16 season, Breen entered the MSUB top-10 season records at No. 8 in points with 577, free-throws made at No. 10 with 121, and No. 8 in free-throws attempted with 169. In the GNAC, Breen is 116 points from securing a place in the top-20 all-time. This season, Breen moved to third in the conference all-time in free-throws made, and is 39 from catching the leader Erin Chamber at 472. This year, Breen had two games with 10 or more free-throws, including a 19-21 performance against Academy of Art and 11-12 from the line at Concordia (Ore.). The junior was also a two-time GNAC Player of the Week selection; first in the debut week against Cal Baptist and Academy of Art when she scored 52 points, and again in the week at home with wins against Western Washington and Simon Fraser. Sophomore point guard Rylee Kane completed her second season as a Yellowjacket starting all 32 games for MSUB. In her two years, Kane has been the starting floor general in every single contest for the ‘Jackets. She improved her game in all categories, finishing this season averaging 7.4 points and 2.8 rebounds. She averaged 1.4 steals per game and was fourth in the GNAC in assists per game with 4.5 and assist/turnover ratio at 1.4. The native of Red Lodge, Mont., scored 10 or more points in nine games this season. She scored a career-high 15 at Cal State San Bernardino and produced 14 points five times during the season, including at the NCAA tournament against Azusa Pacific. Kane’s career-best mark in assists was eight against Alaska Anchorage at home. For the season, Kane amassed 144 assists which is the sixth-best season all-time at MSUB. Kane has logged 234 career assists and needs 30 more to crack the MSUB all-time top-10. She scored 238 points this season and across her two seasons is nearing the 400 career mark at 379. Sophomore guard Marissa Van Atta received the nod into the MSUB starting lineup during the first game of 2016 at Alaska. Since then, Van Atta kept the role becoming a vital part of the team in front and on defense. She had just two games all season without a steal and finished fourth on the team in points per game with 7.2. Van Atta scored a career-high 19 points at Saint Martin’s. She had two double-doubles this year, including her debut as a starter in Alaska with 11 points and 11 rebounds. She also scored team-highs in points with 17 and rebounds at 10 in the GNAC tournament championship game against Alaska Anchorage. Van Atta led the team in steals this season with 52. With her athleticism and range of motion, the breakout player of the team has become a force on both sides of the court. Junior transfer Tiana Hanson led the team from the free-throw line this season. She finished second in the GNAC shooting 71-82 for 86.6 percent. She also completed the second-best season ever at the free-throw line by a MSUB women’s basketball player, trailing only Alira Carpenter’s 2008-09 season (88.3 percent). The product of Shepherd, Mont., and Sheridan College, also shot 41.0 percent from the field averaging 5.3 points per game for the ‘Jackets. She contributed a season-best 16 points, including a 12-13 performance from the free-throw line at Concordia (Ore.). Stavish was second on the team in 3-point field goal percentage shooting 34-93 for 36.6 percent which ranked her ninth in the GNAC overall. The sophomore played in all 32 games for MSUB. She scored a season-high 15 points, including a career-best 5-6 from the 3-point arc against Cal Poly Pomona, totaling almost half of the team season-high 12 3-pointers against the Broncos. Lexi Prevost made big strides as a sophomore on the team. The guard totaled almost as many points in her season-high than all of last year (13-14) combined. Prevost’s big game was the last regular season GNAC contest of the year at Central Washington. In 15 minutes on the court, Prevost scored 13 points and made two assists. The native of Sidney, Mont., connected for 15 assists on the season. Kasie Christensen played in 14 games this season for MSUB with a season-high in minutes at home against Cal Baptist scoring two points and recording a rebound. The team welcomed four true freshman to the team this season. Cierra Lamey, a 5-foot-10 guard played in 24 games this season. She scored a season-best eight points and had two rebounds in 11 minutes during the game at Central Washington. Taylor Edwards, a 5-foot-9 guard, found her way onto the court during 29 total games. She scored four points twice during her inaugural campaign and made three assists twice. She had 17 assists this year and 20 points. Brina Hull, a 5-foot-8 guard scored two points in the game at home against Alaska. She played in 18 games this season staying on the court for five minutes during two games this year. 68 | 2016-17 MSUB Women’s Basketball Media Guide | @MSUBWBB | www.msubsports.com
