Sycamores win home opener 10-0, Mackey records hat trick

TERRE HAUTE, Ind. – Indiana State Women's Soccer opened up its 2024 season at Memorial Stadium on Thursday night against St. Mary-of-the-Woods, where they won 10-0 and had a record breaking game. 

Alexa Mackey recorded only the second-ever hat trick in program history, scoring all three goals inside the 52-minute mark. She is the first to accomplish the feat since Sydney Lovelace scored three against Chicago State in 2014. This also marks the first multi-goal game since Sasha Thompson scored two in 2021 at Northern Iowa.

The Sycamores set the tone early in the first half, taking the lead 4-0 over the Pomeroys. Early goals for Indiana State set them into rhythm of play for the remainder of a record breaking game. Indiana State held the ball for the majority of the first half where they had 23 shot attempts and 15 shots on goal. Four goals in the first half came from Alexa Mackey (2), Emma Famulak, and Wimberley Wright. 

The Sycamores continued to find the back of the net in the second half with six goals to extend their lead to 10-0. Goals in the second half were scored by Brooklyn Woods, Alexa Mackey, Alex Lehnert, Audrey Roberts, Ella Roesch, and Grace Quinn. 

Indiana State was dominant defensively throughout the entirety of the game where they kept the Pomeroys to zero shot attempts.  

The Sycamores tested out several lineups in the game opener, where 24 players were put in the mix. Indiana State recorded 42 shots in the victory over Saint-Mary-of-the-Woods on Thursday evening with 24 shots on goal.
