BILLINGS, Mont. – Setting a new school record for fastest goal scored from the start of a game, Jarred Weisen (Great Falls) found the net just 19 seconds into the contest to score his first of three goals in the game.  The Yellowjackets defeated inaugural program, Jamestown College, 7-1 Saturday at the College of Technology to move to 11-4-1 overall.  The Jimmies fell to 0-11-1.

Jarred Weisen

The Yellowjackets scored four first half goals starting with Weisen, a sophomore midfielder, who took a through ball up the right side firing on goal as the Jimmies’ keeper was drawn out of the net.  Chris Andre (Billings) earned the assist.  Andre then took his turn on goal at the 17:58 mark after receiving a pass from teammate Matt D’Hont (Rapid City, S.D.).  D’Hont flicked the ball over the Jimmies’ defense setting up Andre to beat the keeper one on one.

D’Hont scored his third goal of the season off one of Scott Dixon’s (Dorset, England) three assists in the game in the 26th minute.  Weisen scored back-to back goals in the 39th and 49th minutes to wrap up his hat-trick.  Both goals were assisted by Dixon.

Bryce Ramsey and Colby Vossler, both from Cheyenne, Wyo., scored their first goals of the season to open the second half.  Ramsey scored at 69:08 off Brian Huskey’s (Billings) free kick from midfield, while Vossler sheered the ball into the net off a pass from D’Hont.

The Jackets narrowly missed earning their eighth shutout of the season, allowing the Jimmies’ Bradley Wolbert to score with just 3:17 remaining on the game clock.  The Yellowjackets’ Dylan Malloy (Butte) made a diving save only to have Wolbert pick up his own rebound to score.

The Yellowjackets blasted the Jimmies, out-shooting the young program 28-8.  The Jackets also fired 16 shots on goal to Jamestown’s six.  Philip Nisbett made six saves in the first half with his teammate Stephan Shoemaker tackling three in the second half.  All three Yellowjacket keepers saw time in goal.  Sander Tollefson (Missoula) picked up the win and made two first half saves.  Malloy grabbed two saves and Matt Mitchell (Thornton, Colo.) had one.

The Yellowjackets host Great Northwest Athletic Conference opponent Seattle Pacific University Monday, October 22.  Kickoff is set for 2:30 p.m. at the College of Technology.  The Falcons (7-3-6, 2-1-2) tied the Yellowjackets 1-1 in Seattle earlier this season.  A Yellowjacket win against the Falcons Monday could send Montana State Billings to its first ever NCAA Tournament.
