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.
