Junior Brianna Jacques tallied a hat trick, including the eventual game-winner as the Bridgewater Eagles (2-0) field hockey team cruised past the Hood Blazers (0-2) by a 6-0 score in today's home opener at Mapp Field.

Just over two minutes into the first half, Jacques got the Eagles on the board at a 1-0 tally, putting a shot  past Hood goalkeeper Anne Marie Hantman.

Following her first goal, the junior would extend BC's lead with a goal at the 13:06 mark to put Bridgewater up 2-0.

Junior Kalah Hess would round out the scoring for the Eagles with a goal at the 28:46 mark of the first half to put Bridgewater up 4-0 as both teams headed to the locker room.

Eighty-eight seconds into the second half, Jacques tallied her first hat trick of the season as she rocketed her third goal of the game past Hantman to put BC up 5-0.

Pybus would add her second goal of the game in the waning minutes of the contest to finalize the scoring at 6-0.
