WIN #1
This marked Hampton's first win over a NCAA Division I program in the history of the program. The Lady Pirates tied St. Peter's 2-2 to start the 2016 season and tied South Carolina State 3-3 late in the 2017 season before today's win.

HOW IT HAPPENED

After an early flurry by Hampton produced five shots in the first 23 minutes, Kynnedy Waldon got Hampton on the board off a feed from Jada Lee at the 25:37 mark.
Almost 12 minutes later, Jaiyesmi got a pass from Sydney Jackson and blasted one into the net to put Hampton up 2-0 at the 35:14 mark.
With about 20 minutes left, Hampton caught a friendly bounce to produce the third goal. Isobel Finnegan's shot on goal hit the crossbar and bounced to the feet of Cunningham who put the rebound in for the 3-0 lead at the 71:18 mark.

WHAT'S NEXT
The Lady Pirates travels to Charleston, SC as they return back to action to take on The Citadel Sunday Sept. 9 at 12:00pm.
