Hartford, Conn. – November 24, 2024 – The Springfield College women's soccer team fell to No. 24 Hartford, 6-0, in the championship game of the 2024 Eastern College Athletic Conference (ECAC) Division III Tournament on Sunday afternoon at Al-Marzook Field.

Springfield, which reached the ECAC title game for the fifth time in program history and for the first time since 2019, capped the season with a record of 10-6-4. It is also the first time since 2019 that Springfield posted a double-digit win total. Hartford ended its season at 16-3-2 with its second straight ECAC championship crown.

For their efforts over the weekend, Madison Daly (Enfield, Conn.), Kate Minoudis (Columbia, Conn.), Molly Baxter (Pleasantville, N.Y.) and Jen Walker (Webster, Mass.) earned spots on the All-Tournament Team. Daly led the Pride with two goals, Minoudis and Baxter scored once and Walker picked up an assist on Saturday's fourth goal.

Hartford scored three times in both halves to account for the 6-0 final. Christina Stone got the Hawks on the board in the 24th minute after heading the ball into the net off a long free kick before Mayson Massaro and Imani Jenkins both tallied marker for the hosts in a span of 16 minutes.

Springfield's best chance to score came from NEWMAC Rookie of the Year Mia Salmon (Arlington, Va.) when she went 1-on-1 with Hartford keeper Sejal Johnson in the 29th minute, but her attempt was stopped on a diving save. Johnson and the Hawks did not allow a goal in six straight matches to end the season dating back to October 23 - a span of 575:29 minutes of play, while outscoring their opponents over the stretch by a 29-0 margin.

Kathleen Brush made it a 4-0 Hawks advantage in the 72nd minute before Morgan Egan and Juliana Chiarella added goals in the final six minutes.
