BOZEMAN, Mont. – Montana State head golf coach Brittany Basye announced on Tuesday, Nov. 19, that three student-athletes have signed National Letters of Intent to join the Bobcat program for the 2020-21 season. Bailey Anderson (Gilbert, Ariz.), Jordan Briggs (Livermore, Calif.) and Cora Rosanova (Bozeman, Mont.) will be freshmen when they join the roster next fall.
"I am very excited to announce the three student-athletes that will be joining our family for the fall of 2020," Basye said. "Bailey, Jordan and Cora will bring a nice mixture to our team. All three are competitive, show a tremendous desire to learn, take academics serious, value being part of a team and are hard workers. These are all qualities we look for in a recruit. I am confident that these three will have a major impact on our team next fall."
Bailey Anderson (Queen Creek, Ariz. – Campo Verde High School)
The Queen Creek, Ariz., native joins the Bobcat roster next fall after appearing in a variety of profile events throughout her high school career. Anderson competed in the USGA Junior Girls Qualifier three consecutive seasons, earning as high as sixth and claiming an alternate finish in 2018. She's claimed individual medalist honors in several Rocky Mountain Junior Tour meets scoring as low as 143 over the course of two rounds, while she also won a Junior Golf Association of Arizona event in Tucson.
Anderson had a strong prep career for the Campo Verde Coyotes.

Anderson led the team in scoring average for four consecutive seasons and helped lead Campo Verde to three section championships. She was the individual medalist in nine of 12 regular season tournaments as a senior.
Anderson has carded a career-low score of 4-under 67 at Lone Tree Golf Club, while she's also made a hole in one at ASU Karsten Golf Course. A four-year letterwinner in golf, Anderson is heavily involved in the Air Force Junior Reserve Officer Training Corps. She's currently ranked as a Cadet Captain. Anderson has received three national awards, is a three-time superior performance award winner and two-time outstanding cadet award honoree.
Jordan Briggs (Livermore, Calif. – Granada High School)
The Livermore, Calif., native will arrive at Montana State with three summer tournament wins on her resume. She won two Junior Golf Association of Northern California titles in 2018 with two-round scores of 143 and 152, while she also earned a Junior Tour of Northern California event win in 2016 with a 152.
Briggs recently wrapped up her senior season for Granada High School by earning all-league honorable mention accolades for the second time. During her senior season, She took first at the Tracy Invitational and earned runner-up for the second straight season at the Hilmar Classic. She also served as a team captain while she competed in the North Coast Section meet. She also previously participated in the East Bay Athletic League Playoffs twice. Briggs has recorded three hole in ones during her golf career and has recorded a career-low 18 hole round score of 71.
Briggs lettered four years in golf, two in basketball and once in track and field. She earned two all-tournament team honors as part of the Matadors' basketball team and was a sprinter in track. She's been honored as a Scholar-Athlete award winner in golf and the Principal's Award for her academic achievements. Briggs plans to major in exercise science at Montana State.
Cora Rosanova (Bozeman, Mont. – Bozeman High School)
The Bozeman native was a member of a four-time state championship team with the Hawks. Rosanova took fifth in three consecutive years at the MHSA AA State Championship meet and also claimed medalist honors at one event as a senior. Rosanova is a four-year letterwinner in golf and lettered once in tennis.
Rosanova has experience playing in a variety of tournaments. She competed in the Girls Junior Americas Cup, Hurricane Junior Golf Tour at the Phoenix Open and the American Junior Golf Association.

She will be joining a roster that includes her older sister, Hannah.
"We lose four seniors, all of whom played a major role on our team," Basye said. "However, with the returning players and the three we've added this signing period, we are continuing to build a championship team on and off the golf course. Our roster has a nice mix talent while our newest additions have regional ties which is great."
