Hammons, a sophomore from Yorktown, Va., helped the WildCats open the season 2-0 for the second straight season. Against Ferrum in Randolph's opening contest, Hammons scored the first goal of the game, but her services would be needed again as she tallied the game-winner in ninth minute of the first overtime period to secure a 3-2 win over the Panthers. Hammons followed that performance by swithing to a playmaker's role as she assisted on a pair of goals by Abigail Bullins in a 4-1 victory over Gallaudet.
