Jimmies roundup: Women's soccer fly high, men's swoon continues
Sep. 23—HASTINGS, Neb. — After a slow start to the season, the University of Jamestown appeared to be finding its stride heading into its game at Hastings College on Thursday, Sept. 22. The Jimmies kept it going with a 1-0 win over the Broncos at the Lloyd Wilson Field.
The first half was all Broncos (6-1, 1-1) as they got their first shot 11 minutes into the game but it was saved by Tea Pence to keep it scoreless. The Broncos' Dekotah Schubert kept her big first half going with another shot three minutes later but it was saved by Pence. The Jimmies (4-4-1, 3-0) got one of their two shots in the first half approximately two minutes later when Emersen Kimball took a shot that was saved by the goalie Sofie Jackson-Pederson. The Jimmies second shot came at the end of the first half as Kamryn Fiscus sent a shot towards the goal but it was saved by Jackson-Pederson.
The Jimmies got their closest chance to that point when Miarosa Gyllenswan had her shot ring the post in the 68th minute. The Jimmies won a corner in the 73rd minute and it was taken by Amber Somera who sent it in to the box where it was mishandled by Jackson-Pederson and spilled to the waiting Gyllenswan who slotted it home to give the Jimmies the 1-0 lead. The Broncos kept pushing but the Jimmies defense was up to the task as two late shots were saved by Pence.
The Jimmies are back in action at 1 p.m. on Saturday, Sept. 24, when they go to Doane University.

The Broncos (4-1, 1-0) were on the front foot from the start of the men's game as well as they took their first shot of the night four and a half minutes into the game but it was saved by Jimmies (1-6-1, 0-2-1) goalie Matt English.
