On Thanksgiving Eve, Kristen Hamilton feasted on goals.
Wednesday in Australia, the American forward scored three times for Western Sydney Wanderers FC in the club’s 3-1 victory over Brisbane Roar FC.
It was the club’s first-ever hat trick in Australia’s W-League and it powered the Wanderers to their third straight win.
Hamilton’s first goal of the night came in the 10th minute, and the set-up was a familiar one for fans of the National Women’s Soccer League. Hamilton’s North Carolina Courage teammate, Lynn Williams, sprinted up the left flank and into the box before playing a low through ball to Hamilton, who scored from close-range.
