CHARLOTTE, N.C. – Senior Katie O'Neill made the most of one of her last appearances on the Transamerica Field turf, as she tallied the first hat trick of her career, and the 13th in program history, as Charlotte scored early and never looked back to hand Louisiana Tech a 4-0 setback Friday night. O'Neill was one of five seniors, joining Rebecca Beatty, Perri Bonner, Shelby Hicks and Kaitlin Walker who were honored pregame during Senior Night ceremonies.
O'Neill, an All-Conference USA Third Team choice last fall in her first campaign with the Niners, entered the contest without a goal to her credit this season.
