The next four matches for the Yellowjackets are on the road, and MSUB will cross the Canadian border this week to face Simon Fraser University on Thursday in Burnaby, B.C. BILLINGS, Mont. – Undefeated in its last four matches and overall in Great Northwest Athletic Conference play, the Montana State University Billings women’s soccer team will kick off a four-game road trip this week with contests against conference opponents Simon Fraser University and Saint Martin’s University. The Yellowjackets (4-1-2, 2-0-1 GNAC) are coming off four points at home last weekend, as they defeated Western Oregon University 2-1 in comeback fashion before battling Concordia University to a scoreless double-overtime draw at Yellowjacket Field. MSUB has conceded just two goals in its last four matches, while scoring six and beginning conference play with seven points to sit in second place behind Western Washington University (nine points). “Simon Fraser and Saint Martin’s are good teams, and we need to raise the level a little bit more on the road than at home,” commented MSUB head coach Wojtek Krakowiak. “It’s always harder to play away, but we just have to come out with the same mentality. We definitely have good momentum going.”
