BISMARCK — For the first time since 2021, the Jamestown High School girls soccer team is going back to the Class A State Tournament — and they have an eighth grader to thank.
At the five-minute mark of the double overtime frame, eighth grader Briella Martin knocked in the game-winner to defeat fourth-ranked Bismarck Legacy 2-1.
Jamestown only managed four shots on goal while Legacy peppered the Blue Jays' net with eight total shots. Blue Jay goalkeeper Olivia Sorlie came up with seven saves.
With the win, the Jays earned the No. 4 seed out of the West Region. The tournament is scheduled to be held June 1-3 at Fargo Davies. Jamestown is set to face off against top-ranked Fargo Davies in the opening round of the tourney at noon.
