One of Haley Nelson's main goals for her final prep soccer season was to play a role in as many scoring opportunities as possible.
She made good on that goal this weekend.
Nelson capped off the Jays' weekend, road trip with her third hat-trick of the season that helped to lead the Jays to a 4-1 victory over Williston. Jamestown is now 7-5 in the West Region while the Coyotes' are still winless at 0-10.
The Blue Jays suffered a 5-1 loss to Minot Friday night. Nelson scored the Jays' lone goal of the showdown in the Magic City. Nelson and the Jays will be back in action on Tuesday at Jamestown's Rotary Field facing off against Mandan. The game is scheduled to kick off at 7:30 p.m.
While the Blue Jays came out with the win Saturday, it was Williston who found the back of the net first. Qamar Badwan knocked the ball on a scrambling at the 18-box with about eight minutes gone in the first.

Nelson tied things up with about 12 minutes left in the first with a breakaway goal. Two more from Nelson and a game-clinching score from Reese Christ notched the Jays' seventh victory of the season.
Olivia Sorlie collected the Jays' one lone save in net while Williston's Emma Rasmussen made nine saves for the Coyotes. Jamestown outshot Williston 10-2.
