Right now, the Armory Gym at Montana State University-Northern sits empty during summer break. But even when athletes report back to campus in early August, someone will be missing.

MSU-N Athletic Director Mark Samson explains, "The car accident and the death of Shaina was a shock to everybody." Mark Huebsch, the MSU-N Volleyball Coach adds, "There's not really any words you can use to describe it, it's so surreal of an experience."a

Shaina Evans, a member of the Sky-Lights Volleyball team, died tragically in a car accident on Sunday, June 27th.

Huebsch tells of Shaina's personality, on and off the court. "Shaina was pretty much the same person on and off the court, very energetic, very quick wit, a good sense of humor, always a giant smile on her face that just lit up a room."

Her smile will continue on through the Shaina Evans Memorial Scholarship.
"At the request of her mom and ad, we have set up a memorial scholarship for the volleyball program."

Some of the qualifications for the scholarship will include a GPA minimum, and a person of character and faith.

With volleyball season approaching in a little over a month, teammates and coaches of Shaina have plans in the work to honor and remember her at the lights first home match.
