BILLINGS, Mont. -- A 2-0 weekend has rejuvenated the Montana State Billings men's soccer team as they have won three-straight matches and are now just two games below .500 on the season at 5-7-0, hosting No.17 Seattle Pacific (3:30 p.m.) and Saint Martin's (1 p.m.) on Thursday and Saturday, respectively.
 
The Yellowjackets are coming off a road trip that saw the Jackets defeat the University of Mary 1-0 in a weather shortened match in Bismarck, followed by a 3-2 overtime victory in a neutral site match against the University of Sioux Falls.
 
Current GNAC co-player of the week Isaac Kerr had both game-winning goals last week. His header against the Marauders came late in the first half, while his header against Sioux Falls came early in the overtime period. Those were the first two goals of the year for the freshman defender from Scotland.
 
Three players are at the top of the scoring list for the Jackets, Thomas Sheets, Garion Holian and Kyle Emerick all have four goals and an assist for nine points apiece. The Jackets have been outscored 25-16 this season, but over the last three matches, have outscored the opponent 6-3, including a shutout.
 
Goalkeeper Eoin Hurley has begun to find his comfort zone at MSUB, posting a 4-5-0 record this season and has made 26 saves with a .605 save percentage. The defense has also created less chances for the opposition as opponents are shooting .451 on goal, a difference of .035 compared to the Jackets.
 
The Jackets will welcome Seattle Pacific to Yellowjacket Field on Thursday, a team that enters the week 8-2-1 and 3-1-1 in the conference. The Falcons are coming off a pair of 1-0 wins in Phoenix last week, including a victory over No.16 Grand Canyon University.
 
The Falcons are led by Tyler Schultz who has eight goals and two assists this season for 18 points. Eight other players have scored at least a goal during the year, including two that have three or more.
 
The Falcons have outscored opponents 23-11 this season and are outshooting the opposition 183-110. Keeper Zach Johnson is 8-2-1 on the year with a 0.99 goals against average and 37 saves made.
 
Saint Martin's enters the week with a 3-5-1 record overall and are currently 2-2-0 in the conference. The Saints are coming off a 1-1 tie this past Monday with Trinity Lutheran.
 
Xan Nixon leads the team with five goals this season, while Kelley Austin ranks second with three goals. Only two other players have scored a goal as the Saints have managed just 10 goals this season.
