Boyd's Hat Trick Leads to WIAC Win
Anna Boyd (De Pere, Wis./De Pere) and Anna Brodjian(Barrington, Ill./Barrington) each scored multiple goals in winds gusting up to 30 miles an hour as the University of Wisconsin-Whitewater women's soccer team defeated UW-Stout 10-3 Saturday afternoon at Fiskum Field in Whitewater.
The Warhawks, playing into the wind in the first half, scored four goals to take a 4-2 lead at the break.
Carli Nehls (Downers Grove, Ill./Downers Grove North) put the Warhawks on the board in the 13th minute, scoring on a perfect pass from Anna Brodjian (Barrington, Ill./Barrington).

Stout took advantage of a misplayed ball by the Warhawk defense, and scored in the 25th minute to make it 4-2.
The second half, at least the first 20 minutes, belonged to Anna Boyd (De Pere, Wis./De Pere).
The sophomore forward recorded goals in the 50th, 55th, and 64th minutes to notch her first collegiate hat trick. Boyd leads the team with eight goals this season.
Stout did not relent, scoring a goal on a breakaway in the 66th minute to make it 7-3.
Payton DeLuga (Algonquin, Ill./Dundee Crown) made it 8-3 when she took a free kick from about 45 yards out and the ball took a friendly bounce over the keeper's head into the net.
