Yellowjacket Soccer Signs Billings Player (May 19, 2005)

BILLINGS, MT – Montana State-Billings men’s soccer coach Dan McNally announced Thursday that Brian Huskey of Billings has signed a national letter of intent to play for the Yellowjackets in 2005.  Huskey is McNally’s first signing since taking over the head coaching duties in April.

Huskey will graduate from Billings Senior High School this weekend.  He was a three year letterman for coach Don Pertuit’s Broncs.  He earned all-conference and all-state honors as both a junior and senior and helped Senior HS claim the 2005 Class AA state title.  As a senior Huskey scored seven goals and had 10 assists, earning team MVP honors.

“I think Brian will be a solid contributor to the 2005 squad,” said McNally.  “He is a hard worker and a good passer of the ball.  I expect him to have a great four year career at MSU Billings.”

The Yellowjackets, 6-12-0 last season, kick off their 2005 training camp in early August.  They open the regular season with a pair of regional games in Denver at the end of August.  The Jackets will play at Metro State on August 26 and at Colorado School of Mines on August 28.
