Francese Nets Second Career Hat Trick as Women's Soccer Wins Fourth in a Row

BURLINGTON, Vt. — Entering the day, Alyssa Francese led the Stony Brook women's soccer program with two goals on the season.

She more than doubled her total at Vermont on Sunday morning, recording the second hat trick of her career as the Seawolves earned a 3-0 road victory to make it four wins in a row and two wins in their first two America East matches.
 
Francese and senior Alicia D'Aoust linked up on the first two goals of the day, with the Smithtown, N.Y., native providing a cross just three minutes after the initial goal that Alyssa flicked over the keeper and into the top right corner.
 
Alyssa did it herself on the third tally, making a long run into the box before slotting the lone second-half goal into the far netting with her left foot. The Seawolves defense also stood tall, as Emerson Richmond Burke made six saves to record her third clean sheet of the season.
 
STATS AND NOTES
  • Francese's previous three-goal game during her freshman campaign, recording half of Stony Brook's output in a 6-0 win over Wagner on September 17, 2017.
  • It is also the first hat trick for the Seawolves since that contest.
  • The two assists for D'Aoust were the first of her Seawolves career. 
  • Rachel Florenz recorded the last multi-assist game for Stony Brook, dishing two against NJIT on March 21, 2021.
  • Richmond Burke has recorded six or more saves in three contests this season. It is the most stops she has made in a shutout in her career.
  • Stony Brook has won five in a row and eight of the last 11 against the Catamounts. They have outscored Vermont 14-2 during the win streak.
  • The Seawolves offense has come alive during this win streak, scoring 11 goals in four games and recording multi-goal outputs in every outing.

QUOTES FROM THE SEAWOLVES
