BILLINGS, Mont. – The Montana State Billings men’s soccer team snapped a two-game losing streak downing Colorado Christian University, 5-1 Saturday, at the College of Technology.  Today’s triumph gives the Yellowjackets a school-record eight wins to improve to 8-2-1 on the season.  The Cougars remain winless at 0-10-0.

The Cougars’ leading-scorer Taylor Shade put Colorado Christian on the board first off a header to the Jackets’ back post at the 18:36 mark.  Shade scored the goal off a corner kick from his teammate Tim Starr.

The Yellowjackets evened the game in the 26^th minute.  Jarred Weisen (Great Falls) caromed a shot off the post only to have Justin Hoskins (Billings) slide into the net with the ball, tying the game at one apiece.  Weisen picked up the assist, his first of three on the day.

A foul in the Cougars’ box set up a penalty kick for Sam Charles (Weymouth, England) to score the go-ahead goal.  Finding the net in the 40^th minute, Charles remains perfect in penalty goals at 3-3.  With just four ticks on the first half clock remaining, Chris Andre (Billings) scored his fourth goal of the season off a Yellowjacket rebound to give MSUB a two-goal lead.

As the skies over Billings opened up dropping rain, the Jackets held control of the ball and added two more goals to their tally in the second half.  Jeremy DeHerrera (Kalispell) scored his first goal of the season in the 52^nd minute followed by Charles’ second goal of the game in the 56^th minute.

The Jackets outshot the Cougars 23-5 with a 12-2 shots on goal advantage.  The Cougars’ Jon Wilkins tackled seven saves in the game, while three different Yellowjacket keepers saw time in goal.  Dylan Malloy (Butte) made the lone save in the game for MSUB.

The Yellowjackets have a short break before they head back to Washington State for a conference game against Saint Martin’s University (2-9-0, 0-2-0) on Thursday, October 4.  The Jackets defeated the Saints 2-0 earlier in the season in Billings.  Following Thursday’s GNAC contest, MSUB heads to Canada for a game against NAIA opponent Simon Fraser University (8-1-1).  The game is scheduled for Saturday, October 6 in Burnaby, British Columbia.
