Dix on why she chose Montana Tech, "After visiting Montana Tech, I felt like it could be my home away from home where I could continue to play the sport I love while earning a degree in the medical field. I am very excited about the choice that I made and cannot wait to see all that the school has to offer."

Coach Marilyn Tobin is also excited to have Dix this spring.

"I am very excited to have Cortney on campus for the spring semester. She will get a huge head start on next year's true freshmen. She is a terrific setter with very good ball placement and set selection," said Tobin.
