Baylor soccer completed a 4-2 victory over West Virginia Thursday night at Betty Lou Mays Soccer Field.

Freshman forward Elizabeth Kooiman recorded a hat trick scoring her first three goals of the season. Senior forward Raegan Padgett also scored a goal in the 59th minute to take a 3-0 lead against the Mountaineers.

Kooiman is the first freshman to net a hat trick in the history of the program and her three goals marked the first hat trick nine years, with the last one coming off the boot of Lisa Sliwinski against Houston Baptist on Aug.
