Class AA soccer: Another hat trick for Colton Becker in Glacier rout

MISSOULA — Colton Becker posted his third hat trick of the Class AA soccer season late Thursday afternoon in leading Glacier past Missoula Big Sky 8-0 in Western AA play.

Becker assisted on the first goal by Parker Bedard, just four minutes into play, then followed with his back-to-back scores at 16 and 26 minutes.

He netted his third goal at 58 minutes.

Glacier (5-2-1) also beat Big Sky earlier in the season, 6-1.

“Happy to get a clean sweep,” Glacier coach Ryan Billiet said of beating the Eagles twice.

“A lot of positives for us (in this one) and great preparation for the crosstown match.”

Glacier faces Flathead at Legends Stadium on Saturday night at 7.

“We played well, we played smart,” Billiet said against Big Sky.

Bedard finished with two goals.

Also scoring were Tyler Combs, Ben Bridwell and Dyllyn Stabler.

Micah Reason assisted on three goals.
