Natasha Kai had already scored two goals, and when another ball went off her foot into the back of the net, the reality of her accomplishment hit home.
It was the first career hat trick for Kai, who led the U.S. women's soccer team to a 6-0 win against Canada in a friendly at RFK Stadium yesterday.
"My mind was just like, 'Oh. My. Goodness.' I'm still kind of shocked," Kai said.
Kai said it was her first hat trick since she played at the University of Hawai'i. All three goals came in a 19-minute span in the second half when the Americans' lead went from 1-0 to 5-0.
Kai, a Kahuku High alum, had the strongest performance, but she wasn't the only one.
