Brooke Wilson wasted no time making up for lost time.
The freshman, who has been hampered by injury and illness, scored two goals within the first three minutes of Arizona’s 4-1 win over New Mexico on Sunday.
Wilson then completed the hat trick in the 30th minute by tucking a shot from distance inside the far post.
She was beaming when she gave a thumbs up to the crowd as headed to the locker room at halftime.
“She’s a very good player and she needed that from a confidence standpoint,” said UA coach Tony Amato.
