Yellowjacket Soccer Downed, 1-0 (10/8/05)
Box Score

BILLINGS, MT - Despite playing a strong game defensively, the Jackets were unable to capitalize falling 1-0 against Regis University Saturday at College of Technology Field.  The loss drops the Jackets to 4-10-0 on the season and improves the Rangers to 3-5-2.

The Rangers had 11 shots to the Jackets' one during the first half of play yet the two teams were scoreless at the buzzer.  The second half showed a more evenly matched game with five shots apiece, however, the Rangers managed to get the ball past Jackets goalkeeper Jess Feldtman (Sr., Lander, WY) at 73:30.  The Rangers Matt Westerlund made a short cross in front of the goal to teammate Cody Berg.  Berg headed the ball just above Feldtman's reach giving Berg his fourth goal of the season. 

The Yellowjackets had three shots on goal, all coming in the second half.  Marcus Riley (Sr., MF, Kalispell, MT), Nick Slanina (Fr., F, Rapid City, SD), and team points leader Dustin Kono (Sr., F, Aberdeen, SD) each had a shot on goal.

“I am disappointed with the game,” said head coach Dan McNally.  “We played hard, and were well organized defensively.  The team lacks belief that they can win when we play against a good team.  It is important that we win tomorrow against Colorado State-Pueblo so that we can have a winning home record."

The Jackets play again Sunday at College of Technology Field when they host Colorado State-Pueblo.  Kickoff is scheduled for noon.  The game will be the final home contest for seniors Jess Feldtman, Yacine Zerizef, Pat Boltz, Jesse Spann, Bekir Undes, Marcus Riley, and Dustin Kono.
