FINAL SCORE

WEST LONG BRANCH, NJ – The Monmouth University women's soccer team scored three times in the span of 20 minutes in its 3-0 victory over Canisius on Tuesday afternoon at Hesse Field on The Great Lawn.

The Hawks scored their first two goals as a result of set pieces. The first was a pristine volley by Maddison Perna that she hit inside the back post off a long ball by Lauren Bruno in the 28th minute. Less than four minutes later, Bruno, from 20 yards out, settled a Canisius clearance and ripped a left-footed volley into the top corner to give Monmouth some breathing room.

Jesi Rossman put the game away two minutes into the second half when she snuck a right footed shot into the upper 90, giving Monmouth its eventual final advantage.
