Coach McNally post game audio

BILLINGS, MT – In a spirited game of wills, the Montana State-Billings men’s soccer team fell 2-1 in overtime against number six regionally ranked Metro State College Sunday at the College of Technology Field.  The loss drops the Jackets to 4-7-2 overall while improving the Roadrunners to 10-4-1.

The Yellowjackets struck first against the Roadrunners off a corner kick by defender Greg McKeever (Kirkland, WA).  McKeever sent the ball sailing to the left corner where Jeremy DeHerrera (Kalispell, MT) connected with the ball mid-air to score at the 7:07 mark. 

Just five minutes later, the Roadrunners would even the score.  Mark Cromie’s free kick crossed to Wynne Mason who tied the game at one apiece.  The Roadrunners, playing one man short because of a red card just before halftime, kept the Jackets scoreless as MSUB controlled the tempo much on the second half.

At the 5:04 mark of the first overtime, Metro's Sam Rolph crossed the ball to Phillip Owen from deep left of the net.  Owen caught MSUB keeper Sander Tollefson (Missoula, MT) off balance, winning by golden goal.

The Yellowjackets travel to Texas for their final three-game road trip of the season playing games against No. 8 Incarnate Word (10-0-2) on October 13, St. Mary’s (2-5-3) on October 15, and St. Edward’s (4-2-4) on October 17.
