21st-ranked Trinity Women's Soccer dominated Friday's wire-to-wire victory at Paul McGinlay Field, led by Sheridan's first-half hat trick

SAN ANTONIO - No. 21 Trinity University Women's Soccer defeated Austin College, 9-0, in Southern Collegiate Athletic Conference competition Friday night at Paul McGinlay Field.

The Tigers (10-1-1, 4-1-0 SCAC) returned to the victory column in SCAC play with a three-round burst from junior forward Molly Sheridan (St. Louis, Mo. / Kirkwood) in just over 23 minutes of action for her first hat trick of the season, the second of her career.

The Trinity attack unleashed 64 shots upon the visiting Kangaroos, 34 of which were on target to pepper the Austin College back line en route to the Tigers' nine-score total.

All of the remaining six strikes following Sheridan's trio came from Trinity reserves, with junior midfielders Emma Everts (Parker, Colo. / Ponderosa) and Bella Ferruzzi (McKinney, Texas / Boyd) the first two find the back of the net before intermission. Sheridan added a seventh point to her career-performance as she was credited with an assist on the Everts strike in the 32'.

The 5-0 halftime advantage stood until the 50' as sophomore defender Isabel Makulski (Houston, Texas / St. Agnes) notched her first career goal single handedly. The second-year's efforts opened the flood gates to three successful strikes from first-years to close the 9-0 effort.

Trinity rookie trio Michaela Bosco (Weatherford, Texas / Weatherford), Abby Schneider (Albuquerque, N.M. / Bosque) and Taylor Campbell (Edinburg, Texas / Robert Vela) each tallied in over the course of the final 23 minutes, the fifth of the season for Bosco, second each for Schneider and Campbell.
