Still earns five saves for St. Martin's
BILLINGS, Mont. – The Saint Martin's University women's soccer team fell 2-0 Saturday afternoon at Yellowjackets Field against Montana State University Billings despite getting five saves from Mount Rainier High School graduate Chelsie Still.
It was only Still's fourth game played at goalkeeper.
"Conceding the two goals in the first half was a difficult task," said Director of Soccer Rob Walker. "Chelsie Still stepped up in to help with our goalkeeping temporarily and had a good second half with some heady saves and good distribution. All in all a tough day but we are looking forward to our game versus Western Washington on Tuesday."
The Saints fall to 1-11 overall and 0-8 in the Great Northwest Athletic Conference, while MSUB moves to 6-5-2 overall and 4-4-1 in league play.
Saint Martin's is back in action on Tuesday at the SMU Soccer Field to see Western Washington University at 3 p.m. The Saints game on Nov. 22 against Mills College has been cancelled.
