LONGVIEW -- LeTourneau University women's soccer team shut out Louisiana College, 3-0, Thursday night.
The YellowJackets (6-5, 2-3 American Southwest Conference) won for the sixth straight time over the shorthanded Wildcats (1-9-1, 0-5-0).
Reagan Sandford notched her second hat trick of the season, five games removed from her last one. It was also the first game she found the back of the net since recording her previous three-goal game on Sept. 20. She now has seven goals and three gamewinners this season.
LETU goalkeeper
Kiersten Reeser picked up the shutout, stopping two shots. She improved to 3-3-0.
Sandford scored her first goal in the 36th minute on an assist from
Kalynn Hudman. That's where it remained through the first half -- one in which the YellowJackets outshot the Wildcats, 15-1.
LETU extended its lead to 2-0 when Sandford deposited a pass from
Ali Saldana in the 55th minute. Less than two minutes later, she had her hat trick on a setup from
Alexis Segura. It was Segura's first point of the season, and her first since picking up an assist against Howard Payne in late October last year.
LeTourneau peppered Louisiana College keeper Madison McDowell with 12 shots on goal and 28 total. The Wildcats keeper stopped eight shots, while another by Sandford in the 27th minute was credited as a team save.
The YellowJackets complete their four-game homestand 5 p.m. Saturday in another ASC match against Belhaven.
