The senior started with one goal and one assist, in the Cardinals’ 5-0 win at Trinity, which signaled the first time Wesleyan scored five times against a NESCAC foe since 2015. Burd added the game-winning goal in Saturday's 2-1 triumph at Hamilton, which represented the first time the Cardinals defeated the Continentals in Clinton, N.Y. since 2015.
