OFFENCE PROPELS No. 4 WOMEN'S SOCCER PAST HUSKIES, 9-0

VAUGHAN, Ont – The No. 4 Humber women's soccer team (5-0, 1st Central) hit the half-way mark of the regular season with an emphatic 9-0 win over the George Brown Huskies (2-3-1, 3rd Central).

At the 33-minute mark, Zoe Longsworth scored her second of the match, on a nice feed from Hayley Mackie. Less than two minutes later, Mackie made another great play, setting up Taylor Thomson to give Humber a 4-0 lead heading into the break.
