Junior Hannah Soulis popped in her first and second goals of the season, including the game-winner at the 11:05 mark that snapped a 3-3 tie.

Sophomore Ellie Krueger tallied her 4th goal of the season and Junior Arya Mickelson came away with two assists.

Junior Goalie Olivia Sorlie finished with 38 saves as the Firebirds outshot Jamestown 41-31.

Devils Lake standout Ashlyn Abrahamson scored twice as the Junior Center continues to lead the state in scoring, notching her 11th and 12th goals of the season.

The Jays ended their three-game losing streak and improve to 3-3.
