Newton, MA—Three Lasell College women's soccer players scored hat-tricks, including one natural hat-trick, in this afternoon's thrashing of Pine Manor College, 12-0, on Taylor Field. Jessica Taylor (Standish, ME) finished the game with an astonishing eight points, scoring her natural hat-trick and then assisting on two other goals.  Jamie Harris (Lynnfield, MA) and Arianna DiOrio (Revere, MA) also tallied three goals apiece in the Great Northeast Athletic Conference (GNAC) confrontation.  The Lasers improves to 6-2-1 overall (3-1-1 GNAC) and the Gators remain on an eight game skid with a 0-8-1 slate (0-6-0 GNAC).

Junior midfielder Jordynn Frollo (Uxbridge, MA) scored her second game-winner of the season as she hustled down field, blowing by defenders to shoot from just inside the eighteen.  Frollo's mark was scored 8:14 into the contest.

Within just three minutes, Taylor bounded into her trio of goals that breached just under a four minute span.  Liz McGeoy (Doylestown, PA) set up Taylor's first tally at 11:12, followed by Reegan Brackett (Scarborough, ME) leading Taylor with a pass placed just outside the six, at 14:26.   Twenty seconds later, Taylor converged on her third successive goal taking a cross from Jill Greaney (Holyoke, MA) for a dead on shot.

Just out of the 23^rd minute, Harris converted on her first goal as Taylor dumped a short pass to a waiting Harris inside the six.  DiOrio followed by fashioning two goals exactly two minutes apart between the 27^th and 29^th minutes to wrap up scoring in the first half.  Lasell enjoyed a 7-0 lead at the break.

The tandem of Taylor and Harris struck again in the opening two minutes of the second half as the latter launched a bomb from 18 yards, at 46:12. Harris tailored her final goal in the 59^th minute, scoring from 25 yards out with the assistance of the crossbar which redirected her shot into the net. 

Jamie Osterberg (Monroe, CT) brought Lasell into double-digits in the 68^th minute with her second goal of the season and DiOrio completed her threesome of goals at 75:24 driving her way through defenders to connect for an 11-0 lead.

Margaret Carvalho (Swansea, MA) capped all scoring for the day when she took a guiding pass from Olivia Tsikiris (Woodbury, CT) and fired a shot inside the Gator's left post.

Lasell was in command of the game through its entirety taking 41 shots to Pine Manor's three.  The Lasers also had 13 corner kick chances while the Gators had nil. 

Sophomore goalie Ashley Parrelli (Marshfield, MA) made two saves in the GNAC victory while Gator goal keeper Natasha Kopystynsky (Johnstown, IL) turned aside nine shots in the defeat.

Lasell will travel to Norwich University on Wednesday, October 6^th for another GNAC match with the Cadets.  The opening whistle will blow at 4:00 p.m.
