She also assisted on Lauren Boyd’s goal in the 28th minute which gave the Knights a 4-0 lead at the break.
Janszen added two more first-half goals in the Knights’ 3-1 win at Drury on Sunday. She opened the contest with a goal in the 17th minute on an assist from Adrianna Long. Janszen then provided the eventual game-winner in the 27th minute to give the Knights a 2-0 lead.
