OAK CREEK, WISC. - With their highest scoring game of the season, the Madison College women's soccer team was firing on all cylinders Wednesday with an 11-0 dismantling of in-state rival Milwaukee Area Technical College. Freshman Esther Noriega recorded her first career hat trick, while fellow first year Britt Schumann notches third consecutive two-goal performance as the WolfPack set up a Friday afternoon showdown for first place in the North Central Community College Conference standings with fellow unbeaten Joliet Junior College. In three all-time meetings against the Stormers - all wins by the 'Pack - Madison College has outscored their I-94 rival by a margin of 34-0.

The scoring free-for-all started early with Noriega knocking home the first of her three scores in the 3' on an assist by Abby Meehan. West Salem, Wisconsin, native, Tierra Sackett, scored her second goal of the season in the 8' to make it 2-0, and before the match's first ten minute were through, the WolfPack made it 3-0 with Schumann's first goal off an assist from fellow DeForest High School alum, Peyton Trapino. By the time halftime hit, Madison College owned a 6-0 lead with three more goals from Sydney Schulze (29'), Autumn Petroski (36'), and Trapino (41').  For Petroski, the goal marked the first of her career.

Not much changed in the second half as the 'Pack added five more scores against MATC-Milwaukee (0-3, 0-3). Freshman midfielder Sarah Hamilton tallied her first career goal in the 55', followed immediately by back-to-back scoring kicks for Noriega in the 55' and 57'. To round out the scoring, Schumann scored her second of the game and her team-leading sixth of the season in the 60' and sophomore Olivia Zaleski found the net for the first time in 2017 with the match's final goal at the 71'.

Madison College outshot the Stormers 28-6, including a 17-5 differential in shots on goal and a 7-0 advantage in corner kicks as they kept a majority of the action on their side of midfield.

Noriega, a New Glarus, Wisconsin, native, is the first WolfPack player to score a hat trick this season, and is the first since Lindsay Kraemer tallied a school record six goals against Milwaukee on October 5 last season. It is also her second multi-goal game of the season. Noriega was credited with two assists for a career-high eight point match. Schumann has put together a scoring streak never seen before in Madison College history with six goals in three games, and has an assist in each of the last two. Trapino finished with four points on a goal and two assists, making her the only player to have a point in all four matches this season.

Lost amid all the scoring was the work by goalkeeper Brandie Gospodarek, who recorded five saves en route to her third shutout of the season. It is also the third career shutout for the former Beaver Dam HS athlete against MATC-Milwaukee and the seventh overall clean sheet of her career.

The teams are schedule to play again on October 6 in Madison.
