Cortney Metzler made the most of her
return to eastern Montana in 2002, earning a
starting position in her first season at
MSU Billings. A mainstay in the Yellowjackets’
off-season workouts, the Roundup native became one
of the team’s top players at the net while her
family and friends frequently made the trip down
Highway 87 to bolster the home crowd at Alterowitz
Gymnasium. Metzler was the Jackets’ second-leading
blocker with 67 total blocks and 0.86 blocks per
game despite missing some matches due to illness.
The lanky middle blocker also notched 1.44 kills per
game to help compliment the Yellowjackets’ outside
attack. After helping Roundup High School to
back-to-back state championships, Metzler played one
season at the University of Great Falls where she
was one of the team’s top players. She led the Argos
with 65 solo blocks, 57 block assists and 1.37
blocks per game and was second on the team for kills
with 234. Metzler’s move to MSUB has paid dividends
so far, proving last season that she belongs at the
NCAA level.
