Coach McNally post game audio clip

SAN ANTONIO, TX – A late goal by University of the Incarnate Word was enough to edge the Jackets 1-0 Friday in San Antonio, Texas.  The loss drops the Yellowjackets to 4-8-2 overall while the No. 11 nationally ranked Cardinals improved to 11-1-2.

The Yellowjackets played a defensive game for the first 45 minutes as Jackets’ keeper Sander Tollefson (Missoula, MT) posted four saves in the first half while the offense had no luck recording zero shots to the Cards nine. 

In the second half Sam Charles (Chiswell, England) and Jay Doogan (Glasgow, Scotland) managed shots on goal but as a team MSUB was out-shot 17-6 with 8-2 on goal.  A Yellowjacket foul set up the Cardinals Tom Morrill for a free kick.  Morrill sent the ball past the Jackets line connecting with Miguel Hurtado in front of the net.  Hurtado headed the ball into the left side of the goal at 83:31 giving the Cards the 1-0 win.

"The team is playing very well right now," said Yellowjacket head coach Dan McNally.  "All signs are very positive for the programs future because every single player could return for the 2007 season."

The Yellowjackets remain in Texas to play St. Mary’s (3-6-3) on October 15.  Game time is scheduled for 3:00 p.m. CST.
