JAMESTOWN – The battle for the playoffs is really on now for Jamestown Blue Jays Girls Hockey.

Hannah Soulis scored her fifth for Jamestown (3-8-2-3, 3-7-2-3) only 1:17 later and Arya Mickelson’s team-leading seventh goal tied the game with 3:10 left in the middle period.

Only 25 seconds later, Alyssa Krikoran scored the go-ahead goal for the Sabers, then scored again 1:15 into the third.  Ava Krikoran rounded out the scoring with 1:10 left.

Olivia Sorlie made 44 saves for Jamestown, who was outshot 49-20.
