Lady Jackets Stay Unbeaten at Home (9/28/06)
Box Score

Game Photos

BILLINGS, MT – The Montana State-Billings soccer team used an early Brittney Sandau goal to edge visiting Dallas Baptist 1-0 on Thursday afternoon.  The win improved the Yellowjackets to 11-1-0 and kept them unbeaten in four games at home this season.  Dallas Baptist dropped to 6-4-0.

Sandau (Billings, MT) scored the game winner at 14:54 when she weaved through the Patriot defense and beat goalkeeper Emily Evans in a one-on-one battle.  The goal was Sandau’s seventh of the season and her third game winner.

Mandy (Ploskonka) was on the sideline, and she chipped it to the middle over the defense,” said Sandau.  “I ran to it, was one-one-one with the keeper, and just put it past her.”

The Yellowjackets had five other shots on goal in the first half, but all five resulted in saves by Evans.  The Jackets dominated the opening 45 minutes of play and eventually out-shot the Patriots 16-8 in the game.  Evans finished the game with six saves while her counterpart, Megan Plank (Phoenix, AZ) made four. 

“I think we did good to get the shutout and the win,” said Sandau.  “probably could have scored a few more goals, but overall we did what we needed to do.  I definitely think we have room to improve.  We’re doing well as a team, but I think we can even be better.  I think we have to get better in order to reach our goals.”

The Yellowjackets next play October 6 when they travel to Denver to take on Metro State, the second-ranked team in the country.  The Roadrunners have won 56-straight home games dating back to 2002.  MSUB will also play at Regis, another of the Midwest Region’s top teams, on October 8.  The Jackets’ next home game will be October 13 against St. Mary’s (TX).
