Jacket Men Sign Midfielder (4/18/07)

BILLINGS, MT – Montana State-Billings men’s soccer coach Dan McNally announced Wednesday that Scott Dixon has signed a national letter of intent to play for the Yellowjackets next season.  Dixon is a 6-foot-1 midfielder from Weymouth, Dorset, England.  He will have three years of NCAA eligibility.

“Scott is a fantastic addition to the men’s soccer program,” said McNally.  “He has first class technique and great athleticism.  After watching him play last Christmas in England, I knew immediately he was the player I was looking for.  I believe Scott will have a great career at MSU Billings.”

Dixon was a four-sport athlete at Wey Valley School, competing in soccer, track, volleyball, and tennis.  He was a three-time soccer player of the year at Wey Valley School and a two-time player of the year at Weymouth College.  A five-year captain, Dixon helped lead his team to five county cups and five area cups.  Wey Valley was a South England quarterfinalist in 2003.

The Yellowjackets are coming off a 5-11-2 season.  They will be joining the highly competitive Great Northwest Athletic Conference beginning with the 2007 season.  MSUB kicks off fall training camp on August 6 and opens the season August 23 at Colorado Christian.
