Lady Jacket Soccer to Honor Seniors, All-Decade Team (10/27/06)
Click here for more information on the All-Decade Team

BILLINGS, MT – The Montana State-Billings women’s soccer team closes out the regular season on Saturday with one of the biggest games in the program’s history.  The Yellowjackets will host St. Edward’s University at 1:00 p.m. at the MSUB College of Technology in a game that could have postseason implications.  The Hilltoppers (16-2-1) enter the game ranked second in the NCAA Midwest Region.  The Yellowjackets (13-5-1) are ranked fifth.  The top four teams in next week’s rankings will qualify for the NCAA Tournament.  St. Ed’s defeated the Yellowjackets 1-0 in double overtime last week in Austin, TX.

Before the start of the game, the three Yellowjacket seniors will be honored.  They include Megan Plank (Phoenix, AZ), Ally Stroup (Ojai, CA) and Jenny Moellendorf (Green River, WY).  Plank is the all-time school record holder for goalkeeping wins, shutouts, saves, minutes played, and goals against average.  Stroup is the all-time school record holder for points, assists, goals, and game winning goals.  Saturday will be her school-record 74th consecutive start.  Moellendorf will play in her 73rd career game, second-most in school history behind only Stroup.

At halftime the Yellowjackets will recognize the program’s first All-Decade Team.  The women’s soccer program at MSUB started in 1996, and the 2005 season was the program’s tenth.  Following last season coaches and players, both current and former, voted on the Lady Jackets’ All-Decade Team.

Named to the team were four defenders, four midfielders, two forwards, and a goalkeeper.  Each player selected to the team had to play at least two seasons at MSUB and cannot be a current player.  A new All-Decade Team will be picked every five years, making this year’s senior class eligible in 2011.

The former players who will be introduced as the first All-Decade Team on Saturday will be Gretchen Kaus (GK, 1999-2000), Lacey Albrent (D, 2004-2005), Kristen Johnson (D, 1999-2000), Vicky McCarthey (D, 1999, 2001-2002), Mandy Reed (D, 2000-2003), Megan Beckstead (MF, 2003-2004), Candy Cherry (MF, 2001-2004), Stephanie Clark (MF, 2001-2004), Margot Merrill-Johnson (MF, 2001-2004), Abby Farmer (F, 1997-2001), and Sara Otis (F, 2000-2003).
