Ascencao was the leader on the field for two crucial wins for the Hawks this past week. She played exceptional defensively, leading her team with four defensive saves in a 4-0 win over FDU-Florham and 4-2 victory over No. 16 Cortland, and helped keep the Red Dragons potent offense to a season-low two goals in the game. Along with her work on the defensive end, Ascencao controlled the pace of play up top as well and added a goal and an assist against Cortland, scoring off a banger on a penalty corner before assisting teammate Hannah Ackerman on the final goal of the game to seal the 4-2 victory.
