Higgins spent the previous two seasons playing at Montana. As a sophomore, she posted a third-place finish at the Tri-State Invitational hosted by Eastern Washington and finished 21st at the Big Sky Conference Championship.

"Elle is a fantastic addition to the program. She has proven herself in the classroom and had an immediate competitiveness in the college ranks the past two years," Stender said. "Elle is a very gifted athlete. Her length off the tee and touch around green has helped her become one the best in the Big Sky Conference."

Higgins' 75.85 stroke average last season was second on the Grizzlies. She was an academic all-Big Sky selection as a freshman and carded a first-round 68 at the conference championship.

During her prep career in Centennial, Colo., Higgins finished fifth in the state as a senior and third as a junior to help lead Valor Christian High School to back-to-back Class 5A state titles. She won the 2023 Colorado Golf Association stroke play title at the State Junior Championship, opening with a round of 66.

The Cowgirls return a strong nucleus that includes Meghan Vogt, Lucia Morelli, Kira Reisner, Samanthan Spielman and Sophie Spiva.
