Also winning matches for Harding were RJ Perkins '22, Quinn Taylor '23, Matthew Johnson '24 and Luke Anderson '24. The Hawks will be back in action next Thursday, October 28 when they travel to MBA for a 4:30pm dual. Go Hawks!

Varsity Girls Soccer
The Hawks opened up their season at home with a 4-0 win.  The girls started off a little slow but gained confidence as they started connecting with their passes and executing play through solid communication.  Emerson Smith kept a clean sheet as she denied any shots from USN to reach our goal.  The defense was stingy and the midfield tirelessly transitioned through out the game on both sides of the ball.  The forwards kept pressure on the opposing end which eventually led us to scoring goals.  This was collectively a solid win for the girls.  Authoring a goal each were Lauren Sullivan and Hilary Fremont.  Claire McDaniel knocked in the final two goals to finish the game.  Onward we go, HAWKS!
