Six Goals, Including a Hat Trick from Ashley Finn, Propels Women's Soccer Past South Carolina State

SPARTANBURG, S.C. – Behind goals in the 22nd, 54th, and 63rd minutes, USC Upstate women's soccer's Ashley Finn delivered the program's first hat trick since 2015 to lead a group of multi-point scorers in the Spartans' 6-0 victory over visiting South Carolina State Sunday.

A sophomore midfielder from Wake Forest, N.C., Finn's hat trick was her first career multi-goal match as she doubled her career goal output in the Spartan victory. In addition to her six points in the match, junior midfielder Jane Bossler, freshman forward Katherine Cunningham, freshman midfielder Marie Listenbee, and freshman forward Rachel Satchell each recorded a multi-point match.

How It Happened
  • 22' – Stepping up to take a corner kick for the Spartans, freshman midfielder Nora Vangsnes delivered a ball to the back post, finding a waiting Finn who delivered the ball into the back of the net for her first goal of the afternoon.
  • 34' – Winning back possession in her team's offensive end, fifth-year senior defender Jacqueline Marshall delivered a cross into the box. Off the cross, Bossler delivered a well-timed, one-touch pass to Listenbee to finish at the back post and extend the Spartan advantage.
  • 54' – Playing the ball into the box, Cunningham recorded one of her two assists as she found Finn who fired a shot past the Lady Bulldog keeper for her second goal of the match.
  • 63' – Dribbling into the box, Cunningham rocketed a shot from the right side that found a piece of a South Carolina State defender and caromed back into the center of the box. Off the rebound, Finn rifled a shot into the net to complete her hat trick.
  • 67' – Off a cross from sophomore midfielder Ellie Arnold, Listenbee delivered a centering pass to a waiting Bossler who finished on the other end with a shot to the near post for the fifth Spartan goal of the afternoon.
  • 86' – Taking advantage of a South Carolina State turnover in its defensive end, freshman midfielder Reece Murphree found a streaking Satchell inside the box who hammered home a shot to complete Upstate's scoring.
 
Notable
  • Ashley Finn's hat trick against South Carolina State was her first career multi-goal match but also represents just the fifth three-plus goal match in Upstate's women's soccer history, the first since Haley Gethin produced a hat trick against The Citadel on August 23, 2015.
  • With a pair of assists on a pair of Ashley Finn goals, Katherine Cunningham tied a program record with her assist total, tallying the 14th multi-assist match in school history, the first since Stephanie Linton versus Mars Hill on September 5, 2019
  • Jane Bossler and Marie Listenbee each tallied a goal and an assist Sunday becoming the first Spartans since Montanna Hill versus Radford on Oct. 9, 2019, to score and assist in the same match.
  • In Sunday's match, six Spartans made their USC Upstate debuts as Maria Bevanda, Sayen Santana Cea, Rachel Marriott, Kay-Lynn McCall, Reece Murphree, and Anna Shelton each debuted in the second half.
