Offensive
Peyton Murphy, MF, 5-8, Fr., Bargersville, Ind. – Southern Indiana
Murphy picked up her first career hat trick in a 4-0 USI win against Rose-Hulman Institute of Technology. Murphy scored the first in the 26th after a fake to shake off the defender. She scored her second four minutes into the second half on a combination play, and her third goal was on a short cross just above the top of the six-yard box. Murphy’s assist came in a 1-1 draw at Northern Illinois . Murphy connected with senior Taylor Hall on a 2-on-1 break to get past the Huskies’ defense and goalkeeper in the 53rd minute.
