Last year's WAC runner-up at Grand Canyon joins Bobcats as graduate transfer ahead of 2024-25 season
BOZEMAN, Mont. -- Montana State women's golf bolstered their 2024-2025 roster on Monday, signing talented graduate transfer Becca Tschetter from Grand Canyon University.
Tschetter, a native of Minot, North Dakota, comes to Bozeman after four years with the Lopes, where she closed her career as the individual runner-up at the 2024 WAC Championships.
"I am very excited to have Becca joining our Bobcat Golf Family," head coach Brittany Basye said. "Becca is a tremendous player who will add depth to our roster. She knows what it takes to win at the collegiate level and will be a strong force on our team. She is not only a great golfer, but a great person."
At the WAC Championships this past April, Tschetter shot a 7-over par 220 (76-72-72) to finish second overall in the field of 58, a career-best finish and the top finish by a Lope.
Tschetter helped GCU earn third as a team at the WAC Championships with that performance and win a D-I program best five tournament titles last season. The Lopes placed in the top five in ten of their 11 events and in the top three in nine tournaments.
Tschetter closed the season with a stroke average of 75.83, which would have ranked as the seventh-best average in Montana State history.
In 2022-23, Tschetter earned Second Team All-WAC honors after finishing the year with a 75.18 scoring average, which would have ranked fourth all-time at MSU behind only her new teammates, Scarlet Weidig and Lauren Greeny.
Tschetter joins a Montana State team that broke records last year for low 54-hole team score (854), low 18-hole team score (276), and low individual 54-hole score (Scarlet Weidig, 205).
The Bobcats carded the five best 54-hole tournament scores in program history, an incredible feat, and had six of the best seven 18-hole round scores in program history.
The program-low record for individual 18-hole round of 67 was matched on five occasions, with Weidig accomplishing it three times and Lauren Greeny doing it twice herself.
Along with Weidig and Greeny, the Cats bring back junior Maddie Montoya, sophomore Eva Heinz, and sophomore Hannah Boraas, who all started in the lineup at the Big Sky Championship in April, along with senior Jordan Briggs and sophomore Belle Brezovski.
In 2023-24, Montana State finished with four of the top eight individual scoring averages in program history: Weidig (1st, 73.83), Greeny (2nd, 74.10), Heinz (6th, 75.40), and Montoya (8th, 75.89). The Cats also broke their own record from only a year prior for 4-player team scoring average with a mark of 297.10, eclipsing the previous season's average of 302.51.
Montana State finished second in 2023 at the Big Sky Championship, and placed fourth this past April—their two-best finishes since 2005.
