Billings Senior Duo to Play for Yellowjackets (July 1, 2003)

BILLINGS, MT – MSU Billings men’s soccer coach Doug Seigle announced Tuesday that Victor Sargent and Matthew Holm have signed national letters of intent to play for the Yellowjackets this fall.  Both are 2003 graduates of Billings Senior High School.

Sargent and Holm helped the Broncs to an unbeaten regular season last year, placing second in the Eastern Division with an 8-0-4 record.  Senior lost to Flathead HS in the consolation game of the state tournament and finished with an overall record of 10-2-4.  Sargent and Holm also played together on the Bozeman Premier Club team, which was ranked in the top 20 in the region.

Sargent was a team captain and earned all-state honors as a midfielder in 2002.  He graduated with a 4.00 GPA and was a valedictorian at Senior HS this spring.  He was also a member of Senior High’s last state championship team in 1999.

“As the only collegiate men’s soccer program in Montana, we are committed to keeping the best local talent in state,” said Seigle of the two Billings prospects.  “Both Victor and Matthew are excellent examples of this.  Victor has had great success at the high school and club levels and should be able to make an immediate impact on our team with his leadership and athletic skills.  Matthew is a hard working player who should fight for playing time as he develops into a stronger player.  I think both players will add size and strength to our team.  They can both play multiple positions in either the defense or midfield.”
