Week in Review
The Yellowjackets had three big wins over
conference opponents Western Washington, Seattle University, and
Saint Martin's last week. On Monday, the Yellowjackets
downed the Vikings to open the conference schedule with a 2-1
win. The Vikings' goal is the only goal the Jackets have
conceded this season.
On Friday, the Yellowjackets stunned No. 21
ranked Seattle University in posting a 1-0 shutout win.
Sam Charles scored the Jackets' lone goal in the upset.
MSU Billings secured their sixth shutout of the
season handing Saint Martin's a 2-0 decision on Sunday.
Charles was again the offensive force for the Jackets scoring
both goals for MSUB.
Charles leads the Great Northwest Athletic
Conference with 23 points, scoring 11 goals and one assist.
Scoring four of the Yellowjackets five goals last week, Charles
broke the Yellowjacket record and the conference record of
consecutive games with at least one goal scored. He has
now scored in all seven games this season with the previous GNAC
record set by Jason Cascio of Seattle during the 2006 season at
six games.
The Yellowjackets' defensive unit continues to do
their part in the team's successes. As a defensive line,
the Yellowjackets have conceded just one goal, and through seven
games MSUB has allowed just 42 shots total with 17 on goal. The
defense leads the conference posting six shutouts, and has a
goals against average of 0.17.
