BILLINGS, Mont. – Jessica Harvey will be the latest addition to the 2019-20 Montana State University Billings women's basketball team, announced by head coach Kevin Woodin on Monday.
 
Harvey will transfer to MSU Billings as a junior, after spending her first two collegiate seasons at fellow NCAA Division II school Chadron State College of the Rocky Mountain Athletic Conference. "Jessica is a great addition to our back court," Woodin commented. "She has the ability to play multiple guard positions and possesses excellent speed and athleticism. I look for her to really help us with our perimeter depth. I believe Jessica's skillset will fit into our system very well, and we are excited to have her join our program."
 
Harvey is the eighth player to commit to MSUB's women's basketball team for next season.
