The University of Jamestown women's soccer team earned their first win of the season Sunday afternoon with a 1-0 victory over Doane (Neb.) University at Charlotte & Gordon Hansen Stadium.

HOW IT HAPPENED

• The Jimmies had the offensive pressure early on, getting off three shots in the first ten minutes.
• In the 25^th minute, Ryley Bedard's free kick from about 20 yards out on the far sideline found enough space for Miarosa Gyllenswan to get a right-footed touch to put the ball in the net for a 1-0 Jimmie lead.  
• Jamestown ended the half with eight total shots, five on target, while holding the Tigers to two.
• The second half saw UJ outshoot Doane 7-0 overall but the Jimmies had only two shots on goal.
• Clara Pelegrina narrowly missed an opportunity for an insurance goal in the 87^th minute as her shot hit the crossbar, then Gyllenswan was denied by Doane goalkeeper Grayce Southern  less than a minute later.
