Trottier will head to MSU-Northern this fall to play for Coach Mouat and the Skylights.

Looking back on the weekend experience Taya said, "They have all been good and I had a great experience but HIT had to be the best, playing with and against some of the best girls in Montana was fun and competitive." The HIT, or Hi-line Invitational pits the best of the four Classifications in Montana against one another and is played at the Armory at MSU-Northern.

Trottier was an exceptional student in high school and will look to continue to shine in the classroom while at Northern, "I am going to be studying health promotion to become a physical therapist," concluded Trottier.
