Saint Mary's University of Minnesota Athletics

Matthews, who has been a scoring machine this season, enjoyed her best game as a Cardinal last Wednesday against St. Olaf, as the sophomore recorded her first collegiate hat trick — accounting for all three Saint Mary’s goals in a 4-3 double-overtime setback.
 
Matthews scored back-to-back goals eight minutes apart in the first half, then sent the game into overtime with her third of the contest with just 12 seconds remaining in regulation.
 
Matthews’ hat trick against St. Olaf — the Cardinals’ first since Emily Loof netted three goals against Bethany Lutheran on 6, 2017 — was her third multiple-goal games this season, having netted two goals against both Marian on Sept. 6 and Ripon two days later.
 
With her three goals against the Oles, Matthews pushed her team-leading total to 10. She also leads the team in points with 23 and shares the team lead in assists with three.
