Williston Coyotes Open Season with 4‑1 Win Over Jamestown Blue Jays

Edgar Castillo‑Lopez’s hat trick powers the Coyotes as Jamestown looks to rebound against Bismarck

Season Opener Showdown

The Jamestown Blue Jays entered their season opener with high hopes, but the opening minutes quickly turned into a test of resilience. Owen Sorlie opened the scoring in the fifth minute, only to see Williston respond with four unanswered goals before the halftime whistle.

Edgar Castillo‑Lopez was the catalyst for the Coyotes, delivering a hat trick in the 23rd, 32nd and 35th minutes that swung momentum decisively in Williston’s favor. His clinical finishing left the Blue Jays chasing the game for the remainder of the 90 minutes.

Between the posts, Jamestown’s goalkeeper Evan Harty made seven saves, keeping the score from widening early on, but the early blitz proved too much to overcome.

Looking Ahead

Jamestown will attempt to rebound when they host Bismarck High on Tuesday. The team hopes to tighten defensive organization and capitalize on set‑piece opportunities to avoid another early deficit.

Williston, now 1‑0‑0 with three points, will look to build on their strong start as they prepare for the next fixture in the schedule.
