The Storyline
No. 4 Humber (4-0, 1st Central) will host the George Brown Huskies (2-3, 4th Central) Wednesday evening at the Ontario Soccer Centre. The match will be streamed live on the Hawks Sports Network at 6 p.m. with Matt Hammel and Kyle Dalton on the call.
Last Time Out
Facing a gritty Cambrian defence, the Hawks couldn't solve Golden Shield keeper Megan Coutu in the first half, despite firing 14 shots on net.
After the break, Claudia Piazza was finally able to beat Coutu, giving Humber a 1-0 lead in the 47th minute. Shortly after, Emily Tirabassi scored her second of the season, putting Humber up by two.
Freshman Lily Campbell had numerous scoring chances throughout the match found difficulty trying to beat the Cambrian keeper. Finally, in the 68th minute, Campbell found the back of the net, recording her first career goal for Humber.
In the 81st minute, Giulia Zanardi converted a beautiful cross from Hayley Mackie, recording her third goal of the season.
As time ran down, Rebecca Spratt scored, securing Humber's 5-0 win.
