Box Score<\/a><\/p>\n <\/p>\n (UJ<\/a>)<\/p>\n Eve Hoppe<\/a> (SO\/Temecula, Calif.)’s 81st-minute strike broke a 2-2 tie and the 22nd-ranked University of Jamestown women’s soccer team advanced to the semifinals of the GPAC postseason tournament with a 3-2 win over Dordt (Iowa) University Thursday night.<\/p>\n Top-seeded Jamestown (17-0-1) will host fifth-seed Morningside (Iowa) University, which upset fourth-seed Midland (Neb.) 3-0, in the semifinals. That match is Tuesday at 6 p.m. from the Jimmie Turf Field. The other semifinal matchup has third-seed Hastings (Neb.) at second-seed Briar Cliff (Iowa) Tuesday at 2 p.m.<\/p>\n The Jimmies scored the first goal of the match as Miarosa Gyllenswan<\/a> (FR\/Menifee, Calif.) received\u00a0a Kamryn Fiscus<\/a> (JR\/Yakima, Wash.) pass inside the 18-yard box, and despite being on the outer side of the goalpost, fired off a left-footed shot that got over the outstretched arms of Dordt keeper Jenna Wright and found\u00a0the top left corner of the goal.<\/p>\n After allowing six shots on target and another to hit the crossbar inside the first 24 minutes, the Defenders started to gain some offensive momentum just after 30 minutes in. A shot by Sydney Hooyer went wide, and another shot by Hannah Glynn was high, but the third time was the charm, as Sarah Miller stepped in front of a Jimmie pass from the backline and unleashed a right-footed strike from 30 yards out. The ball rocketed into the left corner of the net as Jimmie keeper Alex Nowka<\/a> (JR\/Anchorage, Alaska) had no chance.<\/p>\n
