The duo headlined a hefty list of 221 Montana State selections to either the spring, winter or fall Big Sky Conference All-Academic teams.
Two recently graduated seniors who excelled in competition and the classroom became Montana State University's Big Sky Conference Scholar-Athletes this week. Sharpshooting guard Tori Martell of the Bobcat women's basketball team and defensive end Kyle Finch are MSU's honorees.
Martell gained national acclaim for winning both the women's three-point shooting and the team shooting contests at this year's NCAA Basketball Final Four, but before that she was one of the top shooters in college basketball. Her 2.88 triples per game last season was 19th in Division I basketball, and her 41.3 shooting percentage was 30th nationally. She finished her career with 211 career three-pointers, third-most in Bobcat history. The Somerset, Wisconsin product graduated from MSU this spring in Nursing, with a 4.0 grade point average.
Finch played defensive end and outside linebacker for the Bobcats. He logged 15 tackles in 2019, including four at Texas Tech, and played in every game during his final two seasons. A mechanical engineering major, Finch was a First Team CoSIDA Academic All-America and also Montana State's selection to the Big Sky Conference Community Service team. He came to MSU from Dillon.
The duo headlined a hefty list of 221 Montana State selections to either the spring, winter or fall Big Sky Conference All-Academic teams. To be eligible for all-league academic honors, student-athletes: 1) must have been on an active roster for their institution; 2) achieved a 3.2 cumulative grade point average (on a 4.0 scale) at the conclusion of the most recently completed term; and 3) completed at least one academic term at his/her current Big Sky institution.
