Nimetz scored the first of her two goals at 16:23 of the second period, then Mackenzie Couling scored another last-minute goal for Jamestown (5-11-2) with 44 seconds left and the Jimmies lead 4-1 through two periods.

Kiran Vugeteveen’s 10th goal at 41 seconds of the third period expanded the UJ lead to 5-1 and Nimetz scored her second shortly after at 1:44.

Jamestown had a big 41-18 shots on goal advantage.  In the Jimmie goal, Katelyn Galuska made 17 saves for the win.
