Bozeman HS Defender Signs with Jackets (4/27/07)

BILLINGS, MT – Montana State-Billings men’s soccer coach Dan McNally announced Friday that Kyle Moriarty has signed to play for the Yellowjackets next season.  Moriarty will graduate in June from Bozeman High School.

“Kyle is one of the top soccer recruits out of Montana this year,” said McNally.  “Kyle is technically strong and has the versatility to play in defense or midfield.  I’m looking forward to watching Kyle develop into a quality college soccer player.”

Moriarty is a 6-foot-1 defender who lettered two years for the Hawks.  He was a two-time all-conference selection.  As a senior, Moriarty earned all-state honors and was named the Eastern Conference player of the year.  The Hawks’ team MVP, Moriarty led Bozeman HS to a runner up finish at the state tournament.

The Yellowjackets are coming off a 5-11-2 season in their final year in the Heartland Conference.  They will join the highly competitive Great Northwest Athletic Conference beginning with the 2007 season.  MSUB kicks off fall training camp on August 6 and opens the season August 23 at Colorado Christian.
