Heaney and Rutz Sign with MSUB Women’s Golf

BILLINGS, Mont. – Montana State Billings head women’s golf coach, Kevin Woodin, announced Thursday that Erin Heaney and Libby Rutz have signed national letters of intent with the Yellowjackets.

“I am very excited to have both Erin and Libby join our golf program this fall,” Woodin said.  “They are both proven golfers who come from excellent high school golf programs.  I look forward to working with both of them.”

Heaney, a native of Anaconda, Mont., was a 3 time all-conference golfer and earned all-state honors for her senior season.  She placed second in her divisional and earned a top 10 finish in last fall’s Montana Class A State tournament at Old Works. 

Rutz, a local product out of Billings Senior High School, placed in the top 10 at the AA State tournament in both her junior and senior seasons.  She earned all-state honors both year and has been a member of three consecutive top five state tournament team finishes at Billing Senior.

Heaney and Rutz join Glendive, Mont., product, Kalli Stanhope, in the 2008 women’s golf class.  Stanhope also will play women’s basketball for the Yellowjackets.
