Lady Jackets Win Second Straight Soccer Match

BILLINGS – The MSU Billings Lady Yellowjackets finished the Rocky Mountain College tournament at 2-0 after defeating the University of Lethbridge 2-1 on Sunday.

The Yellowjackets jumped to a 1-0 lead midway through the first half when Stephanie Clark, a sophomore midfielder, scored an unassisted goal off a free kick.  Lethbridge tied the game at 1-1 before halftime.

Candy Cherry, a sophomore defender, scored the game-winning goal in the second half when she netted her first goal of the season.  MSU Billings was able to hold on to the 2-1 lead despite being out-shot 14-5 in the game.  Freshman goalkeeper Lacy Humbracht collected five saves to earn the win.

Since games against Canadian schools do not count toward NCAA statistics or records, the Yellowjackets remain at 1-2 on the season after defeating Wayne State on Saturday.  They next face Utah Valley State College and the University of Northern Colorado on September 14 and 15.  Both contests will be played at Greeley, Colorado.
