Center Valley, PA, (September 3, 2008) – Senior Dana Eustace (Highland Lakes, NJ/Vernon Township) scored her first career hat trick and the DeSales University women's soccer team broke the team record for most goals in a game in a 9-0 route of local rival Cedar Crest College in a non-conference game on Wednesday afternoon.

Eustace tied the single-game record with her three tallies as she scored the first three goals of the game to give DSU a commanding lead. Her first goal was assisted by freshman Amanda Fink (Nazareth, PA/Nazareth), the second by junior Lauren Wiggins (Whitehall, PA/Allentown Central Catholic), and the third by freshman Laura Wroge (Allentown, PA/Allentown Central Catholic).

The team record of nine goals breaks the old mark of seven goals which had been done on four previous occasions. DeSales improves to 2-0 overall as they have yet to allow goal this season. DSU enjoyed a healthy 38-6 advantage on shots and had a 4-3 edge in corner kicks in the win.

Also scoring goals in the win were junior Gina Locke (Gardner, MA/Gardner), Fink, junior Katie Halpin (Bethlehem, PA/Notre Dame), freshman Sophie DeVincentis (Timonium, MD/Notre Dame Prep), sophomore Laura Flynn (Perkasie, PA/Pennridge), and Wroge. DeVincentis, Halpin, and Flynn also had assists, while Halpin and senior Jessica Baker (Chruchville, PA/St. Basil Academy) combined to make three saves in recording the shutout.
