WILLIAMSBURG, Va. – Savyon Hammond scored the opening goal and assisted on the last four for Hampton on Sunday morning as the Lady Pirates started their home schedule with a 5-0 win over South Carolina State at Wanner Stadium.

Hammond broke the single-game school record for assists that was set in 2016 by Sydney Jackson with two at Hollins.  The five goals equal the second most scored in a game in program history trailing only a 10-0 win over Lincoln (PA) in 2017.  They also scored five goals twice in 2016 against Hollins and Lincoln (PA).

The four assists also is the most by a Big South player since Jordan Lundin of Radford did the feat against Longwood in the 2014 season.

Hampton got on the board as Maya Martir found Hammond on a breakaway and she blasted it into the far corner for a 1-0 lead in the 21^st minute.   The Lady Pirates closed the half as Hammond started her run of assists with a touch pass to Amani White with 26 seconds left as Hampton took a 2-0 lead into the locker room.

The second half saw Hampton get right back on the board barely a minute into the half as Hammond connected with Martir for her second of the game 56 seconds in for a 3-0 lead.  Hammond found Zariah Ascue for her record breaking assist as Ascue blasted one past the keeper in the 53^rd minute to push the lead to 4-0.

Hampton closed out the scoring in the 79^th minute as Angelina Woodard took a feed from Hammond and recorded her first goal of the year with a shot into the far corner for a 5-0 advantage.

The Lady Pirates outshot South Carolina State 26-6 and held a 15-3 lead in shots on goal.  Freshman Sydney Johnson recorded her first collegiate shutout and stopped all three shots, including one in the final two seconds to preserve the shutout.

Hampton (1-1) takes to the road on Thursday to Lexington, Va. to tangle with VMI at 4 pm.
