HARTFORD 3, CHICAGO STATE 1
The Hawks wasted no time getting the offense started as senior forward Makaela Montgomery-Williams opened up the scoring in the tenth minute of the game. Junior forward Imani Jenkins placed a perfect pass up to Montgomery-Williams who rushed up the field and sliced a shot into the net for the first goal of the game. In the 34th minute, freshman forward Cameryn Wilkinson peppered the Chicago State goaltender with back-to-back point-blank shots, nearly doubling the Hartford advantage. The Hawks would enter the halftime break leading the Cougars by a score of 1-0.
