Montana State University-Northern women's basketball coach Chris Mouat has announced the signing of Eva Yeadon to join the program next fall.  Yeadon, a 5-foot-8 guard from Big Sandy, helped lead the Pioneers to their first state tournament appearance since 2009 last season.  Their run to the state tournament included a second place finish at the Divisional Tournament after playing six games.  They finished with an overall record of 23-7.

Mouat said, "We are thrilled to have Eva on board.  She is a very athletic player who brings a lot to the table and she's had an incredibly successful high school career.  She scores, rebounds, and does a lot of little things right.  She is also a great and unselfish teammate.  She is a great person and outstanding student who will be an excellent addition to our university and basketball program."

Yeadon was a First Team All-Conference and First Team All-State selection in 2024.  She was a First Team All-Conference pick in 2023.

For her career, Yeadon has scored 1287 total points.  She has also connected on 72 three-point field goals and grabbed 618 rebounds.  Last season, she averaged 20.2 points and 8.6 rebounds per game.

Mouat added, "Eva had a great visit here, and fit right in with our players.  She has an incredible work ethic, is very driven and goal-oriented, and she simply loves the game.  We are looking forward to following her senior season and her future in a Skylight uniform."

Yeadon also excels on the volleyball court where she has earned First Team All-Conference (2022 and 2023) and First Team All-State honors.  She also took home sixth place honors in the high jump as a freshman.

Eva is the daughter of Ella and Joe Jurenka and Dean Yeadon.  She plans on majoring in Integrated Health Science at MSU-Northern.
