Box Score HAMPTON, VA- Hampton University Women's Soccer shut out the Royals of Regent University in a 10-0 victory Monday night. 
 
The Pirate's defense made it hard for the Royals to get things going as the Pirates cruised to a shutout. 
 
Hampton opened up scoring early at the 6:20 mark, as Junior Nyle Nwainokpor scored the Pirate's first three goals of the night. 
 
"Coach Mo reminds us every game to set the pace of play; I believe we did that as a team by scoring early in the first half and capitalizing on our opponent's weaknesses," said Nwainokpor. "I'm glad we have this win under our belts, and I hope it's the push we need to get motivated and excited for the new challenge of playing in the CAA."
 
The Pirates were able to end the night with a 21-1 advantage in shots. 
 
Regent tallied a pair of saves to win the category, while the Pirates totaled seven corner kicks. 
 
Patricia Wharton scored a goal to give the Pirates a 5-0 advantage. Hampton carried that lead into the half. 
 
Freshman Taryn Goodwin proved that the Pirates have some young talent that can also get the job done. She scored her first goal as a Pirate in the first half and followed up with two goals in the second half.
 
Maya Martir scored three of the Pirate's five goals in the second half to put the nail in the coffin.

NEXT UP: The Pirates hit the road to take on Saint Peters University in Jersey City, NJ at 4 PM on Wednesday, August 31.
