MARION, Ind. -- On Senior Night at Wildcat Field, the Indiana Wesleyan University women's soccer team was led by its three seniors in a 6-0 triumph over visiting Huntington (Ind.) University.

Seniors Becca Mathews, Amy Hockersmith and Melissa Gingerich rose to the occasion in their final regular season home match of their careers.

Mathews recorded a hat trick and was assisted on all three goals by Hockersmith. Gingerich recorded her fifth shutout of the season in net as the Wildcat seniors put on a display in their final home match.

Despite the cold and windy conditions, Indiana Wesleyan was hot all night as the Wildcats opened the scoring in the third minute of play. Sophomore Megan Marshall was fouled hard in the 18-yard box and was awarded a penalty kick, which she promptly connected on to give IWU the early 1-0 advantage.

Six minutes later Hockersmith found Mathews for the first time of the night to give Indiana Wesleyan a 2-0 lead.

The 27th minute was especially sweet for Mathews and Hockersmith. The pair connected on a goal at 26:05 and did it all over again just 25 seconds later for two goals in a 25 second span as the Wildcat led to 4-0.

Indiana Wesleyan gained their fifth goal of the match very early in the second half via an own goal. Sophomore Brittany Smith completed the scoring with a tally in the 59th minute of action.

The Wildcats dominance on the night was evidence by the 24-3 advantage in shots. IWU put 13 shots on goal while Huntington was limited to just two.

Indiana Wesleyan improves their record to 10-2-1 this season and 5-1-1 in the Mid-Central College Conference. Huntington tumbles to 6-8-1 and 1-5-0 in conference play.

The Wildcats finish up the regular season portion of their schedule at 7 p.m. on Tuesday, October 28, as Indiana Wesleyan travels to battle Goshen (Ind.) College.
