DEVON WILLIAMS, KAITLYN LIMA SPARK NJCU PAST HENDRIX, 3-1
JERSEY CITY, NJ (NJCUGothicKnights.com) | Sophomore defender DEVON WILLIAMS (Neptune City, NJ/Neptune) scored two second half goals off corner kick assists from freshman midfielder KAITLYN LIMA (Kearny, NJ/Kearny) and New Jersey City University defeated Hendrix College (Arkansas), 3-1, in a non-conference women's soccer game on September 16 at the Robert L. McNulty Memorial Soccer Field.
NJCU (2-4-2) snapped a two-game losing and four-game winless streak, outshooting Hendrix (4-3), 21-8, including a staggering 16-2 in the second half, when the Gothic Knights had 12 of the first 13 shots. The Warriors three-game winning streak was snapped and Hendrix finished its two-game New York/New Jersey trip with a 1-1 record.
It was NJCU's first meeting with Hendrix, the first against a school from the Southern Athletic Association, and the most southern school the Knights have ever faced in the 20-year history of women's soccer at the University.
Williams netted her second and third goals of the season, breaking a 1-1 tie in the 49th minute before adding a key insurance goal in the 66th minute. Lima, who tallied her second and third assists of the season, also scored the first goal of the game and second of her career just 3:18 into the action off an assist from senior forward BRIANNA TAYLOR (Linden, NJ/Linden).
