Lady Jackets Soccer to Play First Road Games of the Year (September 11, 2002)

BILLINGS – The Montana State University-Billings women’s soccer team hits the road this weekend trying to extend a two-game winning streak.  The Lady Jackets will travel to Greeley, Colorado for games against Utah Valley State and Northern Colorado.

The Yellowjackets have won their last two matches, defeating both Wayne State and the University of Lethbridge at the Rocky Mountain College Tournament last weekend.  MSUB will enter the weekend with an NCAA record of 1-2.

MSU Billings will face Utah Valley State College on Saturday, September 14.  Since UVSC is a two-year school, the game will not count toward the Yellowjackets’ official record. 

On Sunday the Jackets will face Northern Colorado, which is ranked No. 13 in the nation and No. 2 in the Central Region.  Northern Colorado is 2-0-1 on the season.  The Bears opened their season by defeating No. 10 Regis and Central Missouri.  Last week they played to a 0-0 tie with No. 6 Truman State.

Note:  The game against Northern Colorado will be the 97^th game in the history of the MSU Billings women’s soccer program.  Their 100^th game will come on September 22 when they play at Whitman College.
