Jamestown, the fifth seed in the tournament, will play at the top-seeded Chargers on Tuesday. Game time is to be determined.<\/p>\n

Hastings opened the scoring in the 21st minute on an unassisted goal by Dekota Schubert.<\/p>\n

Following a corner kick by Kamryn Fiscus<\/a> (SO\/Yakima, Wash.) in the 38th minute, a scramble for the ball ensued in front of the Hastings goal. Briana Perry<\/a> (JR\/Las Vegas, Nev.) came out with the ball and found Autumn Opperud<\/a> (JR\/Huntington Beach, Calif.), who drew the Jimmies level with her second goal of the season.<\/p>\n

The score remained 1-1 until the 56th minute, when a sublime cross from Claire Struble<\/a> (JR\/Murrieta, Calif.) connected on time with a streaking Penelope Hoppe<\/a> (JR\/Temecula, Calif.), and Hoppe headed the ball into the back of the net for the go-ahead and eventual game winner.<\/p>\n

UJ’s defense allowed just one second half shot on goal, and three\u00a0for the entire match. Jamestown outshot the Broncos 18-6 overall and 9-3 on target. Alex Nowka<\/a> (SO\/Anchorage, Alaska) made two saves between the sticks for the Jimmies.<\/p>\n

Jamestown improves their record to 12-7 and will face the 18th-ranked Chargers for the second time this season. Briar Cliff defeated UJ 3-1 in Sioux City on October 31.<\/p>\n
