Port Moody's Janine Frazao thumped home three goals as the UBC Thunderbirds blanked the Regina Cougars 5-0 in a Canada West university women's soccer game Sunday in Saskatchewan.
The win allowed the No. 7-ranked T-birds to sweep a weekend doubleheader, including a victory Saturday over the Manitoba Bisons.
The forward Frazao scored in the 42nd minute to put UBC up on Regina 2-0 at the half, then added scoring strikes in the 66th and 78th minutes to complete the hattrick. The three markers give Frazao a conference-leading seven on the season.
Next weekend, the 5-1 T-birds host the Fraser Valley Cascades and the Victoria Vikes in another Canada West twinbill.
Melissa Mobilio of Coquitlam knocked in a pair of goals to spark the Trinity Western Spartans to a 4-1 Sunday win over the host Manitoba Bisons.
The win improved the No. 5 Spartans to 6-1, good for top spot in the Canada West conference. The Bisons slipped to 2-6.
The midfielder Mobilio scored in the fifth minute when her long blast deflected in off the diving Manitoba goalie's fingers, then she scored what proved the winning tally with time winding down in the second half on a long, high drive into the back of the net.
"Melissa was fantastic today and showed why she is one of the premier players in Canada," said TWU head coach Graham Roxburgh.
"Her movement, ability to run at people and her decision-making was excellent."
