WEST HARTFORD, Conn. - The Hartford field hockey team had its first ever game in program-history on Friday, defeating Elms College 8-0.

Hartford continued to stay on the attack with four shots in the next five minutes which were all stopped by Katelyn Volk. The Hawks got the second goal in the 13th minute as freshman Kyra Benard (Agawam, Mass.) tipped in a service by Lipson. Hartford would add a third goal in the first quarter as freshman Kyra Evans (Topsham, Maine) finished home a pass from Benard to cap off a great first 15 minutes.
