MSU signs DI softball transfer
Minot State University announced Wednesday that Alison Cygan will transfer from South Dakota State to join the Beavers.
Cygan, a 5-foot-5 infielder from Belgrade, Mont., didn't record a hit in three at-bats for the Jackrabbits last season.
She was a three-time, first-team all-state selection for Belgrade High School and compiled a .426 career batting average.
"We are very happy that Ali has decided to join our program," MSU coach Bill Triplett said in a press release. "Ali will make an immediate impact on our program. She's a great student, a hard worker and a great player and that's what we're looking for. She will fit right in."
