Bailey Griglio and Alycia Wright each score in the first half to help MSUB’s women’s soccer team to a 2-0 shutout of Saint Martin’s on Saturday. BILLINGS, Mont. – Alycia Wright and Bailey Griglio scored within five minutes of each other less than 15 minutes into the match, helping the Montana State University Billings women’s soccer team record a 2-0 shutout over Great Northwest Athletic Conference foe Saint Martin’s University Saturday afternoon at Yellowjacket Field. MSUB limited the Saints to just four shots on the match, and SMU did not have an attempt on target as Yellowjacket goalkeeper Chloe Hopps picked up her third shutout of the season. “It was great to get two goals from two freshmen, Alycia and Bailey,” said MSUB head coach Wojtek Krakowiak. “They have been playing really well, and they were two huge goals. We set the tone from the beginning and created a lot of chances.” With the win, the Yellowjackets improved to 6-5-2 on the season and pulled even in conference play at 4-4-1. The victory snapped a three-match losing skid for MSUB, which entered the day in fifth place in the GNAC standings with the topfour teams earning berths in the conference tournament. Saint Martin’s is now 1-11 overall and 0-8 in the GNAC.
