Secours will join the Bearkats this fall as a transfer from Bellarmine University.
"Michelle will be an essential asset to this team from the beginning and I truly believe she'll have a great career here at Sam Houston," head coach Brad Hagen said. "Her experience as an elite youth bowler and her collegiate background is exactly what I was looking for at this time. She adds serious depth and experience to a roster that already has all of the above. Her enthusiasm, passion, and work ethic academically a long with athletically will fit perfectly in with the dynamics and standards that this team has set in place."
The Brockport, New York, native, brings a 3.0 grade point average and outstanding record as a bowler at Bellarmine University in Louisville Kentucky.
Secours posted four top five finishes and 13 top 25 performances in 21 intercollegiate events. She has produced back-to-back seasons with an overall pins average that ranks among the top 35 women's collegiate bowlers.
Sam Houston State University became the first women's bowling team to earn an NCAA Division I elite eight national tournament berth in the program's first year of competition last April. The Bearkats finished seventh at the NCAA Division I championships in Detroit.
