PROVIDENCE, R.I. – Junior
Sophia Warburton picked up her first collegiate hat trick in a 4-2 win for the JWU (Providence) women's soccer team over the University of Hartford Tuesday afternoon in Conference of New England (CNE) action at the Scotts Miracle-Gro Athletic Complex.
Sophomore
Jamie Davies also found the back of the net as the Wildcats ran their win streak to three and evened their record at 7-7-1 on the season (5-2-0 CNE). Senior

Davies knocked in a corner kick from Iovino near the left post at 14:15 to open the scoring. Less than 10 minutes later, Soares fed Warburton with a seam pass, and the junior split the defense and chipped a shot inside the right post on a breakaway for a 2-0 lead.
Scotti lofted a free kick into the box with seven minutes remaining in the opening half that Krosky redirected with a header and onto the foot of Warburton for her fifth goal of 2025. After the Hawks cut their deficit to 3-1 with a goal at 61:19, Warburton headed in a cross from Leiva three minutes later to restore JWU's three-goal cushion.
