BALTIMORE ? The University of Hartford women's soccer team picked up a 1-0 victory at UMBC on Thursday afternoon at the UMBC Soccer Stadium.

Junior Kacey Busque netted the game-winning goal in the 80th minute to snap a scoreless tie. Hartford improved to 4-5-3 overall and 2-0-1 in the America East. UMBC dropped to 1-10-2 overall and 0-4-0 in the conference.

Busque's goal, which came minutes after she had a shot hit off the post, was her team-leading fourth of the season. She ran up the right side of the penalty area and fired a low shot into the corner of the goal.

Senior goalkeeper Elizabeth Cook and the Hartford defense made the margin stand. Cook made four saves to record her fifth-straight shutout and hasn't allowed a goal in her last 488 minutes of action.

Hartford will next host the University of Maine on Sunday, October 14 at Al-Marzook Field. Kickoff is scheduled for 2 p.m.
