At Jamestown GPAC Quarter Finals Jamestown woman’s Soccer 3, Doane 1<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Box Score<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n (UJ<\/a>) The University of Jamestown women’s soccer team opened the quarterfinals of the GPAC postseason tournament with a 3-1 comeback victory over Doane (Neb.) Wednesday evening at the Jimmie Turf Field.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Jamestown (13-4-2) will host Midland (Neb.) Saturday at 1 p.m. in the semifinals. Midland defeated Dordt (Iowa) 3-1 in another quarterfinal matchup Wednesday. UJ and Midland played on September 15 in Jamestown with the Jimmies winning 2-1. <\/p>\n\n\n\n It was the Tigers who struck first, with Michaela Thompson scoring the eighth minute. As the Jimmie defense passed the ball back to keeper Anna Cole<\/a> (FR\/Laurel, Mont.), Celeste Gavin challenged Cole and forced the ball back towards Thompson. Thompson then took advantage of Cole unable to make a diving save and Doane had the early lead.<\/p>\n\n\n\n UJ responded in the 17th minute as Miarosa Gyllenswan<\/a> (SO\/Menifee, Calif.) played a ball just on the other side of midfield through to Kassandra Noguera<\/a> (FR\/Anaheim, Calif.). Noguera got the ball in stride 25 yards from goal, took a dribble past the defender, and put the ball into the left side of the net.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The go-ahead goal for Jamestown came in the 50th minute from Gaby Sarkis<\/a> (SO\/Campbelltown, Sydney, Australia). Gyllenswan again helped create the scoring chance, finding Sarkis across the half-line, and Sarkis did the rest. Streaking past two Tiger defenders, Sarkis then got past keeper Grayce Southern and flicked the ball in for her tenth goal of the season.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
