Off of a corner kick by junior Summer McSwain, senior Sarah Helm headed the ball into the air to senior Sierra McKinney, who redirected the ball into the net for the game’s opening score.



A little under four minutes later, the Demons made it 2-0 as sophomore Tatum Lilly found Helm on the run on the far right. Helm worked to the outside corner of the goal and unleashed a screamer of a shot inside the far post for the second goal of the game. Helm them capped off the 3-0 win with a tremendous strike on a free kick at the 23:11 mark of the first half. Helm set up just outside of the attacking box and fired a strike under the crossbar in the upper left corner of the net for the final goal of the game.
