Powers was a dangerous attacking threat in both of CCSU's wins last week. The fourth-year midfielder had the Blue Devils rolling early in an wild 3-2 win over New Haven on Thursday. Just six minutes into the match, Powers found the back of the net to put the Blue Devils up 1-0 in the intrastate derby. Against Delaware State on Sunday, Powers once again scored early, volleying home a Kayla Ward cross just 80 seconds after the opening kickoff. She then assisted CCSU's third goal just three minutes into the second half to cap off her excellent week. Powers has been the most potent member of a CCSU attack that has scored three goals per game in conference play. The Newtown, CT native has scored five goals and assisted three so far this season. Thanks to Powers, CCSU has now won three matches in a row and are unbeaten in its last five. The strong run of results now has the Blue Devils in the conversation for the regular season title, sitting just three points off of top spot with three matches to go.
