Mascaro, went 11-7 in the regular season to
match the highest win total (NCAA-era) in
school history.
The ECAC postseason gives the Brevard
College Women’s Soccer team a chance to
extend a record-breaking 2018 campaign.
Led by senior student-athletes Ashley Hughes,
Caroline David, and Megan Shina, the Tornados
etched their name into the Brevard College
NCAA-era record books.
Hughes’ 2018 regular season concluded at
the top of many statistical records for Brevard.
Her 19 goals in 2018 are a BC NCAA-era
school record for single-season goals, passing
teammate Shina's mark of 11 goals in 2017.
Hughes finished 2018 with 41 points, also a BC
NCAA-era single-season record.
Both Hughes and Shina currently sit tied atop
the BC record books for NCAA-era career goals
scored. Both BC seniors have scored 25 goals
apiece in their illustrious BC careers.
Shina and Hughes sit one and two respectively
atop the BC NCAA-era career points leaderboard.
Shina has recorded 56 career points, while
Hughes holds 55 points. Shina and Hughes both
passed former BC forward Bailey Varley (2008-
11) in this category.
David sits alone atop both the single-season
and career BC NCAA-era assist totals. David
finished the 2018 regular season with 13 assists,
which gives her both records by a landslide.
David's 38 career points place her fourth all-time
in BC NCAA-era history, trailing Shina, Hughes,
and Varley (2008-11).
The Brevard College Tornados concluded
its first USA South Conference regular season
slate with a 5-3 mark in conference competition.
