Yellowjacket Men's Soccer Show featuring head coach Dan McNally,
senior Chris Cornish, and junior Justin Hoskins
Week in Review
The Yellowjackets are off to a 2-0 start to the
season after picking up road wins in Colorado last week.
For just the fifth time in the program's 12-year history, the
Jackets have posted three consecutive wins dating back to the
last game of the 2006 season.
The Jackets opened the season with a 2-0 shutout win over
Colorado Christian in Denver last Thursday. Freshman
standout
Chris Andre scored his first collegiate goal and eventual
game winner just 20 minutes into the first half. The 2006
Heartland Conference Co-Freshman of the Year
Sam
Charles scored an insurance goal for the Jackets on a pass
from fellow Englander
Scott
Dixon with 13 minutes to play.

Riding the high of Thursday's win, the Jackets
handed first-year program Mesa State a 2-0 loss in Grand
Junction Sunday. Charles was the offensive force
behind solid Jacket defense scoring two second half goals for MSUB. Charles found the net at the 61 minute mark off a
pass from teammate
Jeremy DeHerrera. Just nine minutes later Charles
scored again off a penalty kick giving him his third goal in
just two games.

The Yellowjackets' defense is holding their own
as expected. Allowing just seven shots on goal in two
games, goalkeeper Sander Tollefson has made all seven saves to
post 302:29 consecutive shutout minutes in goal moving him into
the number one spot in school history for consecutive shutout
minutes played.
If the team were to pick up a win over first-year program Great
Falls Saturday, it will be the winningest start to a men's
soccer season and would top the record books for most
consecutive wins ever at four.
