HAMPTON, Va. (Sept. 28, 2024) … Hampton University women's soccer is back on the road facing Elon at Rudd Field. Sunday's match against the Phoenix is slated to begin at 1:00 p.m.

Last time out, the Lady Pirates fell to Delaware at Powhatan Field on Sept. 26, 1-0. For the majority of the match, Hampton's defense was able to keep the Blue Hens off the board. Coach Scot Vorwold's backline was anchored by Taylor Lewis-Richardson, Keri Geter, Evan-Nichole Whitaker, and Christina Boluda Piqueras. The group blocked a total of six shots. Delaware scored the game-winning goal in the 74th minute. Avery John got the start in goal for the Lady Pirates.
