CHAMBERSBURG, Pa.--Sophomore Nikki Antalffy netted a hat trick
and five other Blazers scored as the Hood College women's soccer
team (1-6) broke out of its scoring slump in a big way Tuesday with
a 9-0 trouncing of Wilson College.
Antalffy became the eighth player in Hood women's soccer history
to record a hat trick, as the Blazers ended a six-game scoring
drought with one of the most impressive offensive performances in
program history. Hood's nine-goal outburst against its former
Atlantic Women's Colleges Conference rival is one away from tying
the single-game record of 10 set against Trinity University last
season. The Blazers have shutout the Phoenix five times in nine
all-time meetings, including the last three in a row.
Freshman Cara Jordan netted the first two goals of her Blazer
career, while Katherine Rendon, Jessica Parrish and Chelsea Kinna
also recorded their first scores in the blue and gray. Senior
Kristina Rendon registered the 11th goal of her Hood career to
round out the scoring.
Also of note, freshman Alexa Hubicki tied the school record with
three assists on the afternoon. She shares the record with teammate
Antalffy, who equaled that feat last season in the decisive victory
over Trinity. Jordan, Parrish, Kristina Rendon and Brittany Hurt
also added assists for Hood.
Freshman Rachelle Buhrman notched her first shutout of the season
and made two saves on the day.
Hood looks to make it two in a row Wednesday at Frostburg State
University. Game time is set for 7 p.m.
