Manhattan’s women’s soccer squad secured a 3‑1 victory over LIU Sharks on Tuesday, earning the program’s first win of the campaign.

Sophomore forward Scarlett Smith was the catalyst, striking twice in the second half to double her career goal total and match her output from the previous season.

A Balanced Attack

Freshman Baileigh Johnson added her inaugural collegiate goal, while senior defender Molly Brunk turned in a steady performance between the posts, making three saves in each half for a total of six stops.

The Jaspers outshot the Sharks 28‑13, with 12 of those attempts on target, and dominated set‑piece opportunities, earning a season‑high 10 corners.

Head coach’s lineup mirrored the previous game against Monmouth, and the team will next travel to face Fordham on August 20, with kickoff scheduled for 7 p.m. on ESPN+.
