Holman’s Hat Trick Lifts Sharks Past Tusculum, 5-0

NSU rolls to fourth straight win Sunday

FORT LAUDERDALE, Fla. – Dejah Holman registered her first career hat trick, as Nova Southeastern continued its early-season dominance by beating Tusculum by a final score of 5-0 at home on Sunday. The sophomore sparked the Sharks with two of her three goals in the first half before another in the 57th minute, along with goals by Emma Heikkila and Jessica Bonenclark, sealed the deal on the team's fourth consecutive shutout to open the 2019 campaign.

HOW IT HAPPENED:
  • The Sharks peppered Tusculum early and often, recording 15 of their 29 shots in the first 45 minutes of action, and managed to climb in front at the 11:01 mark following a pass from Heikkila to Holman.
  • Heikkila later set up another score in the 28th minute, this time having her initial shot cleaned up by Holman to extend the lead to 2-0.
  • With the Pioneers searching for any sort of momentum, Holman and the Sharks kept up the pressure, as the Augusta, Ga. native needed only 11:58 into the second half to cap the hat trick.
  • After having a handful of scoring chances turned away, Heikkila finally cashed in with her second goal in as many matches on a feed from Hannah Christophe.
  • The Sharks still weren't done, either, as Bonenclark added the exclamation mark a mere 74 seconds later to polish off a Tusculum side that knocked off Barry just 48 hours prior.
BEYOND THE BOXSCORE:
  • By racking up six points in Sunday's win, Holman becomes the second Nova Southeastern player to reach double-digit points already this season with 11 overall.
  • The 5-0 victory avenged last season's season-opening, 3-2 defeat at Tusculum.
STATS OF THE NIGHT:
  • The Sharks held a 29-6 advantage in shots, and have now outshot their opponents by a combined 162-13 margin on the year.
  • Keepers Shannon Hearty and Natalie Robayna tallied a save apiece in the effort, combining on the shutout with freshman Rachel Conomea.
  • Nova Southeastern also won the corner kick battle, collecting eight in the match as opposed to just two by the Pioneers.
