How It Happened 
The Franciscan Women's Soccer team would end their winless drought in a big way at Geneva, as they won 6-0. Freshman Juliana Rubino would score her first career hat trick in the win. 

Franciscan would attempt 10 shots in the first half, and half of them would find the back of the net. Just over ten minutes into this one, Juliana Rubino scored her first goal of the game on an assist by Kaitrin O'Leary. A little over two minutes later, Beth Flanagan would register her first goal of the season. Kaitrin O'Leary would join the scoring, with a goal of her own, on an assist by Ellie Scanlon. Then the freshman would take over, as Julian Rubino would score a pair of goals in the final eight minutes of the half to record her first hat trick of her young career. That would send us to the half with a lead of 5-0. 

Older sister Bella Rubino would join in on the scoring, as she found the back of the net on an assist by Juliana Rubino. That would set the score at 6-0 with a little over 40 minutes to play. Franciscan would continue to get good looks at goal, as they would record 15 shots in the second half, but the Geneva defense would stand strong. The lone Geneva second half shot was saved by Franciscan backup goalkeeper Mercedes Murray. The Lady Barons would be victorious 6-0

Inside the Numbers  
- Juliana Rubino had seven points, three goals and an assist. 
- Seven points is tied for the second most in a game by a Lady Baron all-time.
- Juliana Rubino now has eight goals scored this season, most in the PAC.
- Kaitrin O'Leary had a goal and an assist on the night.
- Franciscan out shot Geneva 25-6.

Who's Next? 
Franciscan will remain busy this week, as they travel to Grove City on Thursday. The Lady Barons are winless in their histoty against the Wolverines in their previous two meetings. Franciscan fell 3-1 in each of those games, but they have not played each other since 2017.
