Tierney Boisvert '07 posted her first career hat trick to help lead Hamilton College to a 7-3 win against Wesleyan University in a New England Small College Athletic Conference game at Sage Rink on Dec. 2.
The three goals were the first this season for Boisvert, who now has 12 in her career. Zoe Baldwin '06 added two goals and two assists.

The Cardinals cut the deficit in half on a power play goal at the 2:08 mark of the second. Goals by Bradley and Baldwin gave the Continentals a commanding 6-2 advantage with 4:01 left in the third. Boisvert picked up her hat trick with 3:33 remaining.
