Box Score BILLINGS, Mont.--Western Oregon scored the game's lone goal just before the end of the first half and then made that score stand up with defense during a 1-0 triumph over Montana State Billings at the Yellowjacket Soccer Field on Saturday morning. 

With the victory, the Wolves close out the season by winning three of their last four matches, and the lone non-win was a tie. They finished at 4-6-4 in the Great Northwest Athletic Conference, moving up to fifth place in the final conference standings with 16 points, just missing out on a GNAC tournament berth by one slot. They are 5-8-5 overall under first-year coach Nate Ulness.

The Yellowjackets end the season at 2-11-5 overall and 2-10-2 in league action. The Wolves and MSUB tied earlier this season in Monmouth, 1-1. 

"We are proud of the team and the final two weeks of work they've put in on the field," said Ulness. "While we are sad to narrowly miss out on post season play we got to do something a lot of teams don't which is to finish our year with a win. We have a lot of positives to grow off of going into the off season and look forward to the next fall and applying all the lessons learned." 

The Wolves provided the only scoring of the day in the 41st minute of action. Leiloa Fesolai popped in a shot into the high right part of the goal after passes from Kylie Jones and Ashlyn Reese. It was the first collegiate goal for first-year player Fesolai, and the second assist of the season for the senior Jones in her final match. .

The Wolves had 14 shots in the match to 13 for MSUB, while the home team held a 6-4 in advantage in shots on goal. Western Oregon had six corner kicks to the Yellowjackets' one. 

Ayanah Soon notched her third shutout of the season with six saves.
