RICHARDSON, TX (09.21.17) - The UT Dallas women's soccer team picked up its second straight blowout victory Thursday night as the Comets cruised to 10-0 home win over Belhaven in UTD's American Southwest Conference home opener.

Freshman Nique Enloe recorded the Comets' first hat trick in three seasons as she finished with three of UTD's 10 tallies on the night. Enloe scored twice late in the first period within a span of 66 seconds and added her final goal with just more than 11 minutes left in the second half. The Comets would score six goals in the opening frame and added four more scores in the final 45 minutes as they recorded their largest margin of victory since the 2015 season.

Freshman Keely Fillman opened the scoring in the ninth minute and then made the lead 2-0 in the 14th minute with her second tally of the night. Michelle Lee then added her second goal in three games 13 seconds later, tying the ASC record for quickest consecutive goals, to lift the Comets to a quick 3-0 advantage. Bailee Davis got in the action in the 38th minute before Enloe scored in the 44th minute and 45th minute.

The Comets extended their lead to 7-0 in the 67th minute thanks to a Belhaven own goal and then picked up second-half tallies from Jala Tousant in the 74th minute, Enloe in the 79th minute and Maya Fuller in the 80th minute.
