RECORDS: Hartford (5-2-0); Fordham (5-1-1)

THE LEAD:
 
The University of Hartford women's soccer team (5-2-0) saw its four-game winning streak snapped with a 2-1 loss against Fordham (5-1-1) on Sunday afternoon at Al-Marzook Field at Alumni Stadium. After falling behind, 2-0, the Hawks cut the deficit in half on a goal from senior Aaliyah Ingram in the 68th minute. Hartford ratcheted up the pressure late in the game but couldn't net the equalizer.
  
HOW IT HAPPENED:
 
  • Freshman Margaret Roughley put the Rams ahead, 1-0, in the 42nd minute on an unassisted goal. Roughley took possession near the end line and fired a shot across the mouth of the goal, tucking it inside the far post.
  • Coming off a corner kick by Brooke Salmon, Fordham senior defender Nicole Bates collected a loose ball in traffic and back-heeled a shot past Hartford goalie Jessica Jurg to give the Rams a 2-0 advantage in the 53rd minute.
  • Ingram took a pass from Kaila Lozada from five yards out and stuffed it past Fordham keeper Colleen Hickey for the Hawks' lone goal in the 68th minute.
  
INSIDE THE NUMBERS:
 
  • Fordham led in shots (9-5) and corner kicks (3-1). Roughley paced the Rams with three shots and Ingram led Hartford with two.
  • The Rams hadn't allowed a goal in more than 360 minutes when Ingram scored for Hartford. Fordham had notched three consecutive shutout victories during that stretch.
 
NEWS & NOTES:
 
  • Ingram's goal was her first of the season. Coming in to the game in the second half, the appearance was her first since the Hawks' 4-0 win at Delaware State last month.
  • The Hawks have scored in every game this season. Hartford has outscored its opponents 16-7 and nine different Hawks have found the back of the net this year.
  • Roughley's goal was her third of the year for the Rams and Bates' goal was her second.
 
UP NEXT:
Hartford will visit Yale (3-2-2) on Thursday, Sept. 15. The Bulldogs lost, 2-1, at Vermont on Sunday. The Hawks lead the all-time series 16-6-1 but had lost six in a row before playing Yale to a 1-1 draw in 2015.
