Casper VB Standout Signs with MSUB (4/27/07)

BILLINGS, MT – New Montana State-Billings volleyball coach Sara Schaub announced her first national letter of intent signing on Friday.  Jennifer Boe from Casper, WY, will join the Yellowjackets this fall.

"Jen comes to us from a very successful and respected high school program,” said Schaub.  “She was one of the best athletes on the volleyball court out of the state of Wyoming.  Jen is a fluid athlete who should help make an immediate impact on the outside hitting position.  I look forward to working with Jen and watching her develop into a high caliber volleyball player."

Boe will graduate from Kelly Walsh High School in Casper in June.  A four-year letter winner, Boe helped lead the Trojans to three state championship matches, winning the state title in 2005.  Kelly Walsh also captured three regional championships and two conference championships in the last three years.

A 5-foot-8 outside hitter, Boe totaled 504 kills over the last two seasons.  As a senior, she knocked down 260 kills with a .248 attack percentage and was named the 4A North player of the year.  As both a junior and senior, Boe was to the all-conference and all-state team.

“I chose MSUB because it is located somewhat close to home, the previous volleyball team was very successful, and the town of Billings is beautiful,” said Boe.  “The campus is also very nice, not too big or too small.  I am excited to become a Yellowjacket!”
