Montana State University-Northern women's basketball coach Chris Mouat has announced the signing of Savannah Toms to join the Skylight program this fall.  Toms is a 6-foot forward from Dawson County High School in Glendive.

As a senior, Toms averaged 15.1 points and 5.9 rebounds per game.  She shot 60 percent from the field, and 70 percent from the free throw line.  She finished fourth in all of Class A in both scoring and field goal percentage.  Toms earned First Team All-State honors as a senior, was an Honorable Mention All-Conference performer as a junior, and was a First Team All-Conference selection as a sophomore.  She was a four-year varsity player and three-year starter for the Red Devils.

Mouat said, "Savannah is a great addition to our program.  She has good size and length and can play a couple of positions on the floor. Savannah is a tough-minded, efficient player who really gets things done.  She is a scoring threat on the perimeter as well as in the post, and she does some really good things defensively and on the boards."

Toms also excelled in track and field, where she was a state qualifier for four consecutive years in three different events.

 "We are excited to have Savannah on board" Mouat added.  "I think she has an excellent future in a Skylight uniform and that she'll be a great fit on the court, on campus, and in the Havre community."

Savannah is the daughter of Corky and Elisa Toms.  She carries a 3.4 grade point average and plans on majoring in biology or health promotion at MSU-Northern.  Her long-term goal is to become an occupational therapist.
