Conceding a goal early in the second half, MSUB’s men’s soccer team falls on the road 1-0 in a tight battle with the Clan. BURNABY, B.C. – Michael North scored 10 minutes into the second half, with his goal standing as the game-winner in a tough 1-0 road loss for the Montana State University Billings men’s soccer team against Great Northwest Athletic Conference opponent Simon Fraser University Saturday night at Terry Fox Field on the SFU campus. The Yellowjackets were held without a shot on goal in the match and totaled just three in the game, as their three-game winning streak was snapped in the defeat. MSUB limited SFU to just one shot on target and six in the match, but North made the Clan’s only attempt on frame count with his third goal of the season. With the loss, MSUB fell to 7-4-3 on the season and 5-3-2 in conference play. Senior Sam Butterworth had two of MSUB’s three shots on the match, with freshman Jacob Richter contributing the other. Garret Robinson, Rhys Lambert, Tom Saltwell, Cameron Lee, and Julian Toenges each played all 90 minutes for the ‘Jackets, and Fernando Perez was close behind with 87 minutes in the match. North had half of his team’s shots, as he helped SFU improve to 6-3-4 overall and 5-2-3 in conference play.
