ATHENS, W.Va. – Throughout the fall semester, the Concord University Sports Information Department will be looking back at different events and games that has shaped Concord Athletics to what it is today in a "On This Day" segment.
On this day in 2018, junior forward
Leah Foster of the Concord University women's soccer team opened her career by recording a hat trick in a 5-0 win over King in non-conference action.
Foster got the scoring started for the Mountain Lions with a goal in the 14
th minute. With CU holding onto a 2-0 lead, Foster found the back of the net in the 62
nd minute on an assist from senior midfielder
Yasmin Mosby. The Wigan, England native completed her hat trick in the 87
th minute on a pass from CU women's soccer alumna
Pilar Elias. Additionally, Elias had the other two goals for Concord.
Foster's hat trick was the first for the Mountain Lions since Elias had three scores against Wheeling in October 2017. The hat trick helped Foster start her career by being named the Mountain East Conference Player of the Week, and helped her to a nine-goal season as a freshman.
