Saint Paul, Minn. -- The Hamline women's soccer team defended their home pitch on a hot evening at Pat Patterson Field, securing a 2-0 victory over conference foe Concordia-Moorhead.

The Pipers got on the board early when Addyson Barrett scored in the 11th minute, assisted by Jayden Hernandez. Later in the second half, Christin Broyles sealed the win with a goal in the 75th minute, assisted by Alexi Schneider.
