Hayward spearheaded Saint Francis U’s 2-0 showing last week. The senior captain averaged 24.0 points, 6.5 assists, 4.5 rebounds and 3.5 steals per contest as the Red Flash successfully protected their home court against LIU Brooklyn and Central Connecticut. Helping SFU jump back into the NEC playoff race, Hayward accounted for 25 points and eight assists in an 87-75 triumph over LIU Brooklyn on Saturday. The 5-foot-8 combo guard committed only one turnover against a Blackbirds’ defense that forces a NEC-high 21.1 turnovers per game. Two days later, Hayward scored a game-high 23 points to go along with five assists and four steals in a 61-48 win over first-place Central Connecticut State. She took advantage of her trips to the charity stripe last week, making 15 of 17 free throw attempts.
