HACKETTSTOWN, N.J. - Third-seeded St. Joseph's College overcame an early deficit to earn a 3-2 win over second-seeded Centenary College in the semifinals of the Skyline Conference women's soccer tournament on Wednesday at Cyclone Field.

Centenary took a quick lead as freshman Claire Johnson (Morris Plains, N.J./Morristown) converted a pass from junior Jess Sikora (Ogdensburg, N.J./Walkill Valley) in the game's first minute of play.
