Lady Jacket Softball Inks Senior High Standout (Apr. 29, 2004)

BILLINGS, MT – Montana State-Billings head softball coach Jeff Aumend announced today that Jenna Haacke of Billings Senior High School has signed a national letter of intent to play for the Yellowjackets next season.  The 5-foot-10 second baseman becomes the first player signed by the Yellowjackets this spring.

“Jenna is one of the best hitters in the state of Montana and a great fit, as a person, for our program,” said Aumend. “We look for players that are committed to athletic, academic and social excellence and we have exactly that in Jenna.  She’s going to have a great future leading MSU Billings to elite status among softball programs in the NCAA Division II.”

Haacke was a four-year letter winner for the Broncs, earning first team all-conference honors in her first three seasons at BSHS.  Her senior season is still in progress.  Haacke also earned second team all-state recognition as a freshman and has been a first team all-state selection for the past two years.

Haacke set the Billings Senior HS RBI and home run single season records in her junior season.  She also helped the Broncs to the Class AA state championship as a sophomore.  Haacke has been a two-time Academic All-State honoree.
