Maya Hansen had a hat trick in the first half and an assist as the Minnesota Aurora women's soccer team crushed Racine Kenosha County Third Coast 10-0 at TCO Stadium in Eagan in the USL W League.
The victory, before 4,531 fans, improves the Aurora's record to 3-0; RKC, a new team in the Heartland Division which has been outscored 23-1, falls to 0-4.
Hansen started the scoring in the third minute off an assist from Cat Rapp — a duo that has combined for 24 points (nine goals and six assists).
"It feels really good to come together as a team and put all of the talent, hard work, and grit together, seeing it all pay off," Hansen said.
Hansen is now the Minnesota Aurora's all-time leading goal scorer in its two-year franchise history with 10, surpassing Morgan Turner's eight. Hansen's hat trick is only the second for an Aurora player. Turner had the first in a 5-1 victory over Green Bay Glory on July 9, 2022.
Five players found the back of the net for the first time this season: Arianna Del Moral in the 36th minute, Morgan Stone in the 44th, Sophie French in the 49th, Tianna Harris in the 53rd, and Kaitlyn MacBean in the 63rd.
Hannah Adler also scored in the 56th minute to round out the 10-0 victory. Aurura has outscored their opponents 19-0 in their first three games.
The goals by Del Moral, Stone, and Adler came from distance while center back Harris found the back of the net off of a corner kick.
