Montana State University-Northern women's basketball coach Chris Mouat has announced the signing of ShaAnn Danelson to join the Skylight program in the fall.  Danelson, a 5-foot-7 guard from Scobey, recently completed her freshman season at NCAA Division II Minot State University, where she appeared in 14 games.

"ShaAnn is a knock-down shooter from the three-point line.  She has great range and can really stretch a defense", Mouat said.

At Scobey High School, Danelson helped lead the Spartans to a third-place finish at the 2019 Class C State Tournament.  For her efforts, she was recognized as a Second Team All-Tournament selection.  She earned All-State honors as a senior, averaging 14.8 points per game.  She was also a three-time All-Conference performer.  During her career, she connected on 188 three-point field goals and she scored over 1000 points.

"ShaAnn is passionate about the game, and she is a tireless worker.  She is also an excellent teammate who will bring a lot to our program.  She does an outstanding job in the classroom and is a very well-rounded person.  She was a high school valedictorian and carried a perfect 4.0 grade point average during her freshman year of college.  She is a great addition to our program and university, and we are looking forward to her future here", Mouat continued.

Danelson was a three-sport athlete at Scobey, participating in basketball, volleyball, and golf.  The Spartans qualified for the State C Volleyball Tournament in 2019.  During her golf career, she qualified for the State C Tournament all four years, finishing in the top ten twice.

ShaAnn is the daughter of LeeAnn Danelson.  She plans on majoring in business at MSU-Northern.
