Jackets Chalk One in the “W” Column (9/26/06)
Box Score
Coach McNally post game audio

ODESSA, TX –  The Montana State-Billings men’s soccer team needed a confidence boost and after dropping the first two games of the three-game road trip to Texas, the Jackets’ salvaged the trip with a  big 5-1 win over College of the Southwest Tuesday in Odessa.  The win improves the Jackets to 2-6-2 overall while the Mustangs dropped to 2-5-3.

The Jackets’ Jurell Linford (Missoula, MT) began what would become a scoring barrage just 3:20 into the game.  Linford’s header off a free kick from teammate Brian Huskey (Billings, MT) was the fifth fastest goal scored by a Yellowjacket in school history.  Jay Doogan (Glasgow, Scotland) picked up his first of two assists on a cross to Sam Charles (Chiswell, England) giving the Jackets a 2-0 lead.  Scoring his first collegiate goal at 34:48 of the first half, Jarred Weisen (Great Falls, MT) took a pass from Josh Hernandez (Palmdale, CA) firing the ball into the net.  The Mustangs got on the board on a goal scored by Edgar Mendoza with less than 10 minutes remaining in the half.

Greg McKeever (Kirkland, WA) scored on a penalty kick at 66:43 with Hernandez picking up the fifth and final goal of the game at 74:56 on an assist from Doogan.  The two assists in today’s game ties Doogan for first in school history for assists in a single game.  The five goals and four assists in the game ties the team for fourth in total points in a single game with 14.

“It was a great performance today,” said Yellowjacket head coach Dan McNally.  “The team rebounded from the previous losses and for the first time they looked dangerous on offense. Hopefully our momentum from this result will carry over to our game against Colorado Christian on Saturday.”

As a team, the Yellowjackets out-shot the Mustangs 17-8.  Keeper Sander Tollefson (Missoula, MT) recorded four saves in the game, lowering his goals against average to 1.63.  Mustang keeper Aaron Camarillo made six saves, facing 11 shots-on-goal.

The Yellowjackets return to Billings to host Colorado Christian University (0-9-1).  The two teams tied 1-1 in double overtime the last time they met.  Kickoff is scheduled for 1:00 p.m. at the College of Technology Field.
