Sophomore defender Meghan Williams served as the corner injector and pushed a long left-to-right pass to Denis, who passed off to Hendrix in the middle of the circle. The senior midfielder quickly turned and fired a knuckleball shot to the left corner of the cage to lift SJC to a 1-0 lead with 13:10 remaining in the first half.
