Cortney Metzler
6’0” Junior
Roundup, Montana
Sandy Beal transferred to MSU-Billings in
2002 from Mount Hood Community College.
She helped provide some stability to a
Yellowjacket team that was trying to replace
three graduated seniors who were among the
program’s best ever. Beal provided solid
defense all season and finished the year
third on the team in total blocks (41) and
blocks per game (0.56) while playing in 73 games. At Mount Hood CC, Beal
was a two-time all-conference first team selection. She had a .320 hitting
percentage in her sophomore campaign, placing her 12th in the conference and
earning her a spot on the Southern Division’s All-Star team. After a year in
Coach Matavao’s system, Beal is expected to contribute considerably in what
should be an experienced and productive front line.
Cortney Metzler made the most of her
return to eastern Montana in 2002, earning
a starting position in her first season at
MSU-Billings. A mainstay in the
Yellowjackets’ off-season workouts, the
Roundup native became one of the team’s
top players at the net while her family and
friends frequently made the trip down

Highway 87 to bolster the home crowd at Alterowitz Gymnasium. Metzler was
the Jackets’ second-leading blocker with 67 total blocks and 0.86 blocks per
game despite missing some matches due to illness. The lanky middle blocker
also notched 1.44 kills per game to help compliment the Yellowjackets’ outside
attack. After helping Roundup High School to back-to-back state championships,
Metzler played one season at the University of Great Falls where she was
one of the team’s top players. She led the Argos with 65 solo blocks, 57 block
assists and 1.37 blocks per game and was second on the team for kills with 234.
Metzler’s move to MSUB has paid dividends so far, proving last season that she
belongs at the NCAA level.
