Jamestown 3 Presentation College 2
ABERDEEN, S.D. (UJ) — The University of Jamestown women’s soccer team returned to GPAC conference play Wednesday, defeating Presentation College 3-2.
The Saints took a 1-0 lead in the 11th minute as Abbie Rodgers scored on a pass from Marissa Gaytan. Rodgers unleashed a kick from the right side over the arms of Jimmie keeper Alex Nowka (JR/Anchorage, Alaska), into the top corner of the net.
Cassandra Diaz (JR/Montebello, Calif.) brought the Jimmies level in the 32nd minute with an assist by Natalia Rodriguez (SR/Camarillo, Calif.). Despite a Presentation defender getting a foot on the ball, the bounce went up just enough for Diaz to execute a one-timer shot from just inside the box to make it 1-1.
Diaz notched her second of the match in the 55th minute, heading in a corner kick from Kamryn Fiscus (JR/Yakima, Wash.) to make it 2-1. Fiscus then extended the UJ lead to 3-1 in the 56th minute. Iliana Ramirez (FR/Marysville, Wash.) passed the ball over to Fiscus, who then put a shot on net from about 25 yards out that went right into the back of the net.
The Saints got within a goal in the 74th minute as Georgia-May Murphy scored from a pass by Julia Gutierrez.
Nowka finished with two saves for Jamestown, which outshot Presentation 18-5 overall and 16-4 on target.
UJ improves to 11-0 overall, 6-0 in the GPAC, and hosts Concordia (Neb.) on Saturday at 4:00 p.m.

Jamestown 4 Presentation College 1
ABERDEEN, S.D (UJ) — The University of Jamestown men’s soccer team returned to GPAC action Wednesday afternoon, defeating Presentation College 4-1.
Jamestown moves above the .500 mark overall at 5-4-2, and is now 3-2-1 in the conference. The Jimmies host Concordia (Neb.) University Saturday at 6:30 p.m.
Three first-half goals gave UJ the advantage at halftime as Aaron Pike (SR/Milton Keynes, England) (24th), Taylor Lubungo (FR/Goma, D.R. Congo) (42nd), and Nate Vrchota (JR/Baldwin, Wis.) (45th) each scored.
Eric Fairtlough (SR/Varese, Italy) helped set up Pike’s opening goal, then Lubungo scored an unassisted goal, notching his second in as many matches. Then, ten seconds from the break, Gio Cassaro (FR/Temecula, Calif.) found Vrchota near the top of the 18-yard box, and Vrchota needed just one touch to beat the Saints keeper.
Armando Quintero ended Jamestown’s shutout hopes in the 62nd minute, and the score remained 3-1 until Pike netted his second in the 85th minute.
