On a day in which the Hartford women's soccer program honored their senior and graduate students, those recognized in the pregame ceremony were responsible for six of the team's eight goals as the Hawks overwhelmed Nichols Saturday, 8-0, at Al-Marzook Field at Alumni Stadium.

Senior Elise Engquist, who was making her second career start, got the scoring going with an unassisted goal in the 12th minute. It was her second goal of her career.

Senior Ishani Sharma and graduate Leah Barbieri scored in the 16th and 21st minute, respectively. Seniors May Cervone and Imani Jenkins assisted on the Sharma goal, while Barbieri tallied an unassisted marker. Jenkins scored her first goal of the game in the 39th minute with an assist from freshman Kathleen Brush.

Hartford tallied four more goals in the second half as Jenkins and Cervone scored in the 63rd and 66th minutes. Sophomore Mayson Massaro capped the scoring with goals in the 76th and 83rd minutes.
