INEZ — Martin County sophomore Laura Hale got her third hat trick of the season in Thursday night’s matchup against Lawrence County.

Hale made her way downfield to get within shooting range. She dribbled in towards the bars with three defenders on her and challenged LC’s goalkeeper to make her way out of the net.

After a bad bounce, the goalie missed the ball. Hale stuck with it and followed the ball in to strike it past the goalkeeper with only 5:15 expired in the first half.

Hale finished the game with all three of Martin County’s points on the board.
