Hutchinson CC Sports Information

Hutchinson Community College sophomore forward Haley Rogers posted her first career hat trick and had nine points in two matches this past week for the No. 20-ranked Blue Dragons.

On Tuesday, the sophomore from Maize was named the KJCCC Division I Women's Soccer Player of the Week.

In Hutchinson's 7-2 victory over Garden City, Rogers had a career-high seven points with three goals and an assist to pace the Dragons. Her first career hat trick was the 99th all-time hat trick in Blue Dragon women's soccer history.

She tallied a pair impressive assists in the Dragons' 2-2 tie at Seward County. First, Rogers delivered a perfect cross for teammate Kaitlyn Edwards to head in. Later in the first half, Rogers' corner kick was headed in by Ana Pokrandt for a 2-0 lead. That's the third time already this season that Rogers has had a direct assist or scored directly from a corner kick.

Rogers is tied for second in the KJCCC in goals scored through two weeks with four goals, four assists and 12 points.

The now-No. 18 Blue Dragons (2-0-1) play host to Dodge City at 6 p.m. on Wednesday at the Salthawk Soccer Complex.
