Yellowjackets Win Third Straight Soccer Game (September 26, 2002)

BILLINGS, MT – The Montana State University-Billings men’s soccer team recorded its record third consecutive victory on Thursday afternoon, defeating the University of Mary 1-0 at Yellowjacket Field.  Mark Cipolla scored the game winning goal in the 68th minute to give the Jackets the win.

“We didn’t play great today,” said first year coach Doug Seigle, “but if we can win ugly, then imagine what we will be able to do once our guys learn our system and start to play together better.”

Cipolla leads the Yellowjackets with nine goals and 19 points.  Already this year he has recorded two hat tricks.  After receiving a feed from Brian Palmer, Cipolla dribbled past a defender and beat the goalie one-on-one for the deciding goal.

MSU Billings improved to 4-4 on the season after starting 1-4.  They won the Northwest Nazarene Tournament last weekend by going 2-0.  Last year the Yellowjackets won two straight games on two different occasions.

Freshman goalkeeper Yacine Zerizef picked up his second win in three decisions this year.  In 315 minutes he has a goals-against average of 1.43 and a save percentage of .706.  Those numbers were bolstered against Mary with the Yellowjackets’ first shutout of the season and Zerizef’s four saves.  Three of those saves came late in the second half as the Marauders pressed to tie the game.

The Yellowjackets travel to Washington on Saturday to face Western Washington University.  From there they will make the drive to Burnaby, British Columbia to take on Simon Fraser.
