Sophomore Whitley Johns netted her third-career hat trick as part of a school-record tying 10-goal outburst as Dixie State's women's soccer team rolled to a 10-1 win over New Mexico Highlands Friday night at Trailblazer Stadium. 

The Trailblazers (7-3-4/5-2-3 RMAC) scored five goals in a span of 11 minutes in the opening half, the first coming off the boot of junior Jill Bennett (4) at the 8:24 mark of the match. Johns would strike for her first goal just 18 seconds later, then tallied her second score 59 seconds after that to push the DSU lead to 3-0.

Seniors Alexa Ashton (4) and Kilee Allsop (1) followed with goals at the 15-minute and 19-minute marks, respectively, as the Blazers took a 5-0 lead into the halftime break.

NMHU (0-12-0/0-10-0 RMAC) spoiled Dixie State's shutout bid with a goal just 33 seconds into the second half, but Johns got that goal back with her team-leading ninth of the season eight-plus minutes later. Juniors Kelsey Cook (5) and Ambree Bennett (2) also scored second half goals, while sophomore Zoe Clark (4) found the back twice later in the period.

DSU's 10 goals on Friday night matched the program's single-game record of 10 set in a 10-2 neutral-site win over Northwest Christian in Salt Lake City during the 2007 season (9/7/07). In addition, the Trailblazers collected seven assists on their 10 goals, which is the second-highest single match total in program history, while the 27 points (10g/7a) broke the previous school record of 25 set in the NCU win in 2007.

Dixie State will host CSU-Pueblo on Senior Day this Sunday afternoon at 1:30 p.m.
