Hawks Headed to Championship Game

The top-seeded University of Hartford women’s soccer team beat fifth-seeded New Hampshire on Sunday to advance to the finals of the America East Championship tournament.

The Hawks (9-8-2 overall) will host third-seeded University of Maine in the championship game on Saturday, Nov. 4, at 2 p.m., at Al-Marzook Field (behind the Sports Center).

The winner of that game will receive an automatic bid to the NCAA Tournament. Hartford will be making its ninth championship finals appearance and will be vying for its seventh America East title.
