Jenkins sets new single-season points mark in 4-1 win

Senior Imani Jenkins scored three goals and an assist to set a new single-season points mark as the University of Hartford women's soccer team defeated previously unbeaten Southern Maine Wednesday, 3-1, on Al-Marzook Field at Alumni Stadium.

Jenkins tied the single-season mark with her penalty kick goal in the 23rd minute. She opened the scoring with a goal in the 19th minute with the assist coming from freshman Kathleen Brush. The pair combined for Hartford's third goal, in the 46th minute, giving the Hawks a three-goal lead.

The previous record was held by Danielle Korbmacher, who finished with 62 points in the 1998 season. Jenkins now has 113 career points, good for fifth – just one point behind Sandra Doreleijers.  

After the Huskies were able to end Hartford's shutout streak with a goal in the 57th minute, freshman Reese Sadler tallied her first career goal in the 89th minute to cap the scoring.

Sophomore Sejal Johnson (12-1) recorded four saves on five shots. She hadn't allowed a goal in five appearances.
