Kanu proceeded to break her own mark with each of the four goals she scored in the remainder of the 35 minutes of play she registered. She has now scored 15 goals in her last four games. On the season, Kanu is averaging a goal per 31.4 minutes of play this season 17.2 minutes of play in her last four contests.
AISHA SHINES: Since making her collegiate debut in the conference opener versus Johnson & Wales, freshman forward Aisha Solorzano has been a sensation for the Fire up top. The Guatemala City native had more assists in TSC play than any other player with 12 and has recorded a helper in seven consecutive contests. Solorzano has also found the back of the net six times in the last five games and has placed 62.1% of her shots on frame during that stretch.
