Jackson, now 9-4, had earlier Saturday beaten Urbana 2-0 before claiming a marathon 2-1, penalty-kick shootout triumph over host Carbondale.

Against Peoria, Lorie Bittle had two goals while Kim Aslinger, Tricia Klipfel and Rebecca Hellrich added one apiece. Klipfel had two assists.

Making the all-tournament team for Central were Hiler, Aslinger, Ashley Voerg and goalie Heather Hey, who recorded all four shutouts.

Jackson began Saturday with the win over Urbana as Julie Wunderlich scored both goals.

Then came the grueling game with Carbondale that was tied 1-1 after regulation and 20 minutes of sudden-death overtime. Lacie Hodo scored the Jackson goal.

Jackson made three shootout penalty kicks to one for Carbondale. Jackson shootout goals were by Jessica Schulz, Wunderlich and Carrie Myers. Goalie Dana Littlepage stopped two penalty kicks.

Wunderlich, Schulz and Amanda Beussink of the Lady Indians made the all-tourney squad.
