Jacket Men Open Season With Tie (8/24/06)
Box Score
Coach McNally post game audio

PUEBLO, CO – Just four seconds into the second overtime, the Montana State-Billings men’s soccer team had to settle for a 0-0 tie in their season opener as the game was called on account of darkness.  The Yellowjackets start the 2006 campaign 0-0-1, while Colorado State Pueblo is also 0-0-1.

Lightning came over the skies of Pueblo setting the start time back a half hour.  After the threat passed, the game finally got underway at 5:30 p.m.  Freshman goalkeeper Sander Tollefson (Missoula, MT) made a strong showing in his first collegiate game posting seven saves.  Brian Huskey (Billings, MT), Matt D’Hont (Rapid City, SD), and Sam Charles (Chiswell, England) each had a shot on goal with Jay Doogan (Glasgow, Scotland) taking a crack at the Thunderwolves' keeper twice.

“The players worked hard and played the system,” said head coach Dan McNally.  “I am very proud of them and the result of tonight’s game.  We are looking forward to our game against Colorado Christian on Saturday.”

The Yellowjackets have the day off Friday and return to the field Saturday playing Colorado Christian University with a noon kickoff.  Last time these two teams met it ended with the Jackets taking the 1-0 win.  Following Saturday’s game, the Yellowjackets will round out their road trip to Colorado with a game against Regis University on Monday.  The Jackets open at home September 1 against Heartland Conference opponent Incarnate Word.
