The College of Southern Maryland (CSM) Hawks women’s soccer team delivered a commanding 11-0 victory over the Prince George’s Community College Owls on September 30, 2025, at the Largo campus field. The match, part of the Maryland Junior College Athletic Conference (MD JUCO), saw the Hawks improve their record to 7-1-1 overall and 5-0-1 in conference play, while the Owls fell to 2-3-1 overall and in the conference. Southern Maryland’s relentless offensive pressure, led by Sara Allwine and Abby May, overwhelmed Prince George’s, showcasing the team’s depth and precision in a game that ended early due to the mercy rule.
The Hawks struck early and often, scoring nine goals in the first half alone. Sara Allwine opened the scoring just 44 seconds into the match, assisted by Abby May, setting the tone for a one-sided affair. Allwine, a freshman forward from Leonardtown, tallied four goals, bringing her season total to 14, while May, a sophomore from La Plata, added three goals and three assists. Amber Jones, another freshman from Lusby, contributed a hat trick, her 10th, 11th, and 12th goals of the season. The trio’s combined efforts accounted for 10 of CSM’s 11 goals, with Abigail Noftsier sealing the scoreline in the second half at 64:12.
CSM’s dominance was evident in their 25 shots, 17 on goal, compared to Prince George’s zero shots. The Hawks’ goalkeeper, Kylie Smith, faced no shots on goal, earning a clean sheet in her 70 minutes played. Prince George’s goalkeepers, Gift Onunaku and Danyelle McTache, faced a barrage, with Onunaku making five saves in 45 minutes and McTache adding one in 25 minutes. The Owls struggled to mount any offense, failing to record a single shot or corner kick, while committing seven fouls, including a yellow card to Briandela Neba in the 61st minute.
The match highlighted CSM’s balanced attack and defensive solidity. The Hawks converted five corner kicks and committed five fouls, maintaining control throughout. Key contributors included Zoey Lisbon-Browne, Faith Wright, and Kiera Salazar, each recording a shot on goal, with Salazar assisting May’s eighth goal. The team’s cohesion was evident in their playmaking, with assists from May, Salazar, and Taylor Hopkins, a substitute who set up Jones’s final goal.
This victory underscores CSM’s strong position in the MD JUCO standings, where they remain unbeaten in conference play. The Hawks, based in La Plata with campuses across Calvert, Charles, and St. Mary’s counties, have built a reputation for competitive athletics in Southern Maryland. The program, part of the National Junior College Athletic Association (NJCAA) Division II, draws talent from local high schools like Leonardtown and La Plata, fostering community pride. In 2024, CSM’s women’s soccer team reached the NJCAA Region 20 semifinals, and this season’s 7-1-1 start signals their intent to contend for a championship.
Prince George’s, meanwhile, struggled to find rhythm, reflecting their inconsistent 2-3-1 record. The Owls, representing a diverse student body in Largo, have faced challenges rebuilding after a 3-7 season in 2024. Their defense, led by Kelly Rodriguez and Jaquelin Villeda, could not contain CSM’s aggressive forwards, and the lack of offensive output limited their ability to respond. The yellow card to Neba, a midfielder, highlighted the team’s frustration as CSM’s lead grew insurmountable.
The game, played under clear skies at 4:00 p.m., ended early due to NJCAA mercy rules, which halt matches when a team leads by 10 or more goals after the first half. This rule, designed to promote sportsmanship, allowed CSM to conserve energy for upcoming matches. The Hawks’ next scheduled game is against Frederick Community College on October 7, 2025, a critical conference matchup as they vie for a top seed in the Region 20 tournament. Prince George’s will look to rebound against Anne Arundel Community College on October 3, 2025.
