The Bryan Lady Vikings moved into the semifinals of the Brazos Valley Cup soccer tournament with a 2-1 victory over the Richland Rebels on Friday afternoon at Merrill Green Stadium.

Bryan (7-2-1) will face Round Rock, a 1-0 winner over Katy, in the semifinals at 9 a.m. Saturday at Green Stadium. The other semifinal is a rematch of last year's Class 4A title game. J.J. Pearce, the defending state champion, will meet up with Friendswood at 9 a.m. at Rudder High. Pearce defeated Austin High 5-1, and Friendswood toppled Portland 5-0 on Friday.

The two winners will play at 5 p.m., with the third-place game at 3 p.m. Both matches will be at the Aggie Soccer Stadium.

With about 10 minutes remaining Friday, Bryan's Brittany Little sent a ball into the top right corner of the penalty box, where Deanna Jimenez took a shot that hit a charging Holly Mallison and deflected toward the goal. With Mallison having sprawled to make the initial save, Jimenez ran onto the ball and calmly knocked it in for the game-winner.

Bryan took a 1-0 lead against a strong wind on a breakaway goal by Dani Fellows, but Richland tied it at 1-1 midway through the first half on a cross by Gina Knight to Hayley Warriner just outside the top of the box. Warriner's ball hit about five yards in front of the right post, and the spin and wind took it away from goalkeeper Ana Meyer. Tahlor Lymann ran onto it and hit it into the back of the net.

The Lady Rebels nearly tied it at 2-2, but Kaity O'Toole's free kick from 23 yards out against the wind hit the left post and caromed straight back into the field of play.

Fellows had two chances in one sequence to put Bryan up 2-0. She broke free on the right side of the box and her first shot was stopped by Mallison. Fellows then headed the rebound on goal but Mallison was well positioned and made another save.

Mallison also denied Kacy Shea after she broke free on a long throw.
