Humber at St. Clair, W 4-0
After a dominant first half that saw the Hawks record 12 shots on net, Humber and St. Clair were both scoreless after 45 minutes of play.
Catarina Medeiros finally got the Hawks on the board in the 53rd minute when Kaitlynn Russell found her at the top of the box, unloading a rocket into the top corner of the net for her first of the season.
The flood gates opened from there when a quick pass from Emma Genova found Kaitlynn Russell for her third goal of the year two minutes later.
In the 79th minute, Genova made another great pass, this time finding Spalla for her first career goal.
With time running down, Rose Policelli hit a long cross into the box, finding the head of Krystina Carvalho for Humber's fourth tally of the match.
In her second career start, Isabella Bernardi recorded her first career clean sheet.
