Bobcat Women Hold Blue-Gold Scrimmage
10/16/2023 5:38:00 PM | Women's Basketball
The scrimmage is free and open to the public.
Montana State head coach Tricia Binford will get her first look at the 2023-24 Bobcats at game speed when the program hosts its annual Blue-Gold Scrimmage, Tuesday, Oct. 17 at 6:30 p.m. in Worthington Arena.
The scrimmage is free and open to the public.
'The Blue-Gold scrimmage will give us a good look at rotations," said Binford, who is entering her 19th season at MSU. "We will also see how well we can box out our scout team guys. Scout is very fast and big and will challenge us in transition and on the glass.
"We'll also be focusing on our chemistry and making sure we're working for a great shot regardless of rotations," she added.
Montana State returns eight letterwinners, including three starters from last year's squad that went 20-11 overall and 13-5 in Big Sky play, en route to a regular-season Big Sky Conference title.
Leading the Bobcats will be returning starters Lexi Deden, Katelynn Limardo and Madison Jackson. Deden, a senior from Missoula, returns as MSU leading scorer and rebounder after averaging 8.5 points and 4.6 rebounds per game, respectively.
Binford also welcomes back letterwinners Taylor Jannsen, Marah Dykstra, and Dylan Philip. Lindsey Hein and Mattie Olson, who also saw time last winter, are currently sidelined from the hardwood.
Seven newcomers, including two NCAA Division I transfers, dot this season's roster, as well. Brooke Berry, a product of Billings Skyview transferred to the Bobcats prior to the spring semester, while Drea Brumfield, a native of Chehalis, Wash., comes to Bozeman via Pepperdine.
Isobel Bunyan, Lea Boulanger, Malea Egan, Natalie Picton, and Ella Johnson make up this season's freshmen class.
