Natalie Rios put up a hat trick and even added one more goal for good measure to lead the Pioneer girls soccer team to a 6-0 rout of Gateway on Thursday afternoon in Northfield.

Rios had what Panthers head coach Matt Killeen described as the “perfect hat trick,” as she put goals in with her left foot, right foot and head. Maddie Keefe and Jaelyn Boliski also tallied goals for the hosts, while Keefe (two), Deveney Pillsbury, DaniTeaca and Jaelyn Boliski each recorded assists in the Pioneer victory.

The Gators managed just three shots on goal, all of which were handled by Panthers keeper Kyler McClelland. Pioneer bounced back from Tuesday’s loss to Greenfield and has now won four of its last five.

Thursday’s win moves the Panthers’ record to 7-3-2, and their final regular season game of the season comes on Monday at home against Athol.
