Hawks Bounce Back With 6-0 Victory Over University of Saint Joseph (Conn.)

WEST HARTFORD, Conn. - The University of Hartford women's soccer had a bounce back game on Wednesday evening flying to a 6-0 victory over cross-town opponent University of Saint Joseph (Conn.). 

Rapid Recap
  • The Hawks dominated the early possession getting three quick shots on target within the first 10 minutes, but Madison Corcoran made three saves to keep the game even. Graduate student Imani Jenkins (Middletown, Conn.) opened the scoring in the 28th minute on a beautiful find from graduate student May Cervone (Milford, Conn.). A second goal came quickly after as sophomore Kathleen Brush (Wethersfield, Conn.) dished off a pass to junior Cameryn Wilkinson (Wethersfield, Conn.) who scored in the 30th minute. Hartford continued to soar getting a third goal in the 42nd minute as Brush got one into the net from a beautiful assist from graduate student Christina Stone (Glastonbury, Conn.). In the final seconds of the first half the Hawks pushed the lead to 4-0 as Brush lifted a beautiful corner which found the head of junior Mayson Massaro (Sarasota, Fla.) who found the back of the net for her first collegiate goal. 
  • The second half started with four more saves for Corcoran, but finally in the 63rd minute Jenkins struck again getting her second of the game and seventh of the year. In the 70th minute the sixth goal hit the net as Brush found Egan for her first collegiate goal. Jenna Zup had a pair of chances for the Blue Jays late, but freshman Aislyn Rivera (Morristown, N.J.) made a pair of saves to keep the clean sheet and the 6-0 win. 
Post Game Press
"I think our energy was up compared to last game", said sophomore Kathleen Brush (Wethersfield, Conn.). "Coming off a loss we just knew we needed to win, everyone's confidence was a little low so we just wanted to combine as a team was very important tonight."

  • Brush registered a career-high three assists to go with her first goal of the season in the win. Jenkins netted two more goals tying the program-record in goals with 60 in her career.
  • Wilkinson, Massaro and Egan all picked up their first goal of 2024 in the win.
