PALATINE, Ill. – The Harper College women's soccer team struck early and often against visiting Milwaukee Area Technical College Friday afternoon, dominating the action on their way to a 7-0 victory.

Nicolette Kruczek (Wonder Lake, Ill./Woodstock North) put Harper on the board early as she found the back of the net on an assist from newcomer Nina Bednarz (/Barrington). A few minutes later, Kruczek found Maryanna Milanez (/GED), who did the rest and gave the Hawks a 2-0 advantage. Kruczek struck again with her ninth goal of the year to make it 3-0. Just before the half, Stephanie Hurwitz (Rolling Meadows, Ill./Fremd) scored her third goal of the season to pad the Harper lead.

In the second half, three Hawks – Vanessa Salazar (/Proviso West), Mary Cassidy (/) and Katherine Milla (Honduras/CEAD Christian School) – all found the net for goals. Bednarz added her second assist on Salazar's goal while Hurwitz assisted on Cassidy's goal.

Goalkeeper Mikayla Nagle (/Rolling Meadows) earned the victory in goal, making four saves on the day.

Up next, the Hawks travel to Glen Ellyn on Wednesday to take on College of DuPage in a N4C showdown.
