MSUB, Rocky Soccer Game to be Webcast (9/18/06)

BILLINGS, MT – Live audio of Wednesday’s Montana State-Billings women’s soccer game against Rocky Mountain College is scheduled to be webcast on the Yellowjacket Athletics website.  Listeners can log on to www.msubillings.edu/athletics and click on the special soccer webcast link at the top of the “Headlines” section of the page.  Paul Roper and Kevin Luse will be calling the action.  Roper is a professor at Rocky Mountain, and Luse is the Director of Coaching for Magic City Soccer and the head boy’s soccer coach at Billings West High School.

Kickoff is scheduled for 7:00 p.m. at Daylis Stadium.  MSU Billings is 9-0-0 and ranked fifth in the NCAA Midwest Region in the National Soccer Coaches Association of America poll.  Rocky Mountain is 5-2-0 and ranked fourth in NAIA Region 1.  Both teams defeated Texas A&M-International last weekend with the Yellowjackets winning 18-1 and the Bears prevailing 4-0.

Wednesday’s meeting will be the fifteenth in the series between the two teams dating back to 1999.  MSU Billings holds a 7-6-1 edge all-time against the Bears.  The teams split two games last year with each winning on the other’s home field.  Wednesday’s game will be the only meeting between the Jackets and Bears this season.  It is also believed to be the first-ever collegiate soccer night game in Montana.
