GAME SUMMARY
A hat trick from junior Emilie MacDonald boasted her to the top of the Dallas Baptist Women's Soccer Team in scoring and propelled the squad, 6-0, over Rogers State on Saturday.
 
The forward set a career-high in goals with seven, while notching a game-high, five shots. Four were shots on goal and three landed in the back of the net to give DBU its first hat trick of the campaign.
 
The Patriots (10-3-1, 4-1) had plenty of offense bolstering a season-high four goals in the first half. Senior Lea Sedwick and freshman Leah Draper added to the largest scoring output for the visiting Women's Soccer Team with a goal each.
 
DBU held a 17-3 shot advantage, holding Rogers State University (1-14, 1-5) to the fewest attempts allowed as the program garnered its ninth shutout of the year.
 
HIGHLIGHTS
MacDonald got DBU in the scoring column in season-record fashion with an early 1:33 minute mark netter that occurred off a penalty kick. The native of Cedar Hill continued her amazing night by punching the next two goals for the road team, each coming off an assist from junior Ashley Cox.
 
The pair of scoring results occurred in the 6^th and 21^st minutes, respectively.
 
Freshman McKenna Namken collected her first collegiate goal at the 33:15 mark to lift the Patriots to their highest total of goals tallied in the opening frame. Fellow classmate Lindsay McManus was credited with the assist.
 
Sedwick kept the pressure going for DBU, completing a header into the back of the net from a long range free kick by senior Megan McDermand. The sequence took place in the 52^nd minute, opening the team's largest edge in an affair all season.
 
That advantage was set even further just over ten minutes later as freshman Leah Draper notched her second goal of the season. MacDonald was involved once again this time being listed with the assist.
