RADNOR, PA – Graduate student Maria Hagan scored a natural-hat trick in a span of just 11 minutes en route to a 4-0 Cabrini women's soccer victory in their Atlantic East Conference (AEC) opener today against Gwynedd Mercy University.

Just over five minutes later Hagan and Marrollo teamed up again to net Hagan's second of the game.

Sophomore Maggie McCay rounded out the scoring in the 87^th minute with her first-career goal, assisted by a long pass from keeper Ashley Tutzauer.
