Montana State University-Northern coaches pose for a photo, while new recruit Danielle Tyler, from Whatcom Community College in Washington, signs her NAIA letter of intent last week.
Summer is flying by, and, soon, the Montana State University-Northern women's basketball team will be back to work. And the Skylights will have a new guard in the fold when they do return.
Northern women's basketball coach Chris Mouat has announced the signing of Danielle Tyler to join the Skylights in the fall. Tyler is a 5-7 guard from Whatcom Community College in Bellingham, Washington.
In a shortened season this year, Tyler averaged 16.2 points per game, good for 12th in the entire Northwest Athletic Conference (NWAC). She shot 36 percent from the field, 30 percent from the three-point line, and 84 percent from the free throw line. She also averaged three assists and 3.6 rebounds per game. She helped Whatcom to a 9-5 overall record, good for third in the Northern Region. She recorded a season-high 25 points against Bellevue Community College.
As a freshman at Whatcom, Tyler finished seventh in the entire NWAC in scoring, averaging 17.4 points per game. She was a First Team All-Region selection, and helped lead Whatcom to a 12-2 overall record in the Northern Region. She exploded for 50 points in a win over South Puget Sound Community College.
"We are thrilled to have Danielle on board," Mouat said. "She is a small-town kid who is just a great fit in our program. She's had a ton of individual and team success at Whatcom, and will bring a lot to the table for us. I like the fact that she can play a couple of positions on the floor and that she is a proven scorer and winner. She can shoot the three with great range, but also has mid-range skills and can really finish at the rim. We've watched her a ton, and I'm confident that she'll make a big impact in our program.
Tyler is a 2019 graduate of Baker High School in Deming, Washington. At Baker, she helped her team win a Washington Class 1A state title in 2017, where she earned tournament Most Valuable Player honors. She was a two-time First Team All-Conference selection.
"Danielle gives us added depth at the guard positions, and brings a dynamic game to our program.," Mouat said. "We look forward to her progress as a player and student at MSU-Northern."
Tyler is the daughter of Teresa and Dan Tyle. She plans on majoring in elementary education at MSU-Northern.
