Jennies soccer will get a third chance to defeat the Central Oklahoma Bronchos when the two teams meet Friday in the NCAA Central Regional Tournament.

The Jennies have fallen to the Bronchos in both matchups this season. The first matchup in the regular season resulted in a 2-0 Bronchos win. The teams met in the MIAA Championship Nov. 4 where the Bronchos won convincingly 6-1.

The Jennies have taken care of business through the first two rounds of the Central Regional defeating Augustana 3-1 and Bemidji State 2-0. Senior forward Jada Scott and sophomore forward Makayla Toth have each scored two goals and added an assist in the Jennies two NCAA Tournament games. Senior forward Courtney Killian has tallied two assists as well.

The Jennies matchup with Central Oklahoma is scheduled to kickoff at 1 p.m. Friday at the Grand Valley State Soccer Field in Allendale, Michigan.
