FERRUM, Va. -- Keith Ricks posted a rare hat trick with three goals to lift Ferrum College to a 4-0 men's soccer win over visiting Berea College this afternoon at Penn-Roediger Field.

RECORDS
Ferrum (5-2), Berea (0-6)

THE BASICS
Ricks scored the Panthers first goal at 15:23, off a pass from Roberto Cardoso. The Mountaineers then had a defender attempt to pass the ball back to goalkeeper Noah DeHart, but the ball chipped over his head and was credited as an own goal. Ricks scored his second goal at 72:20 off a Sam May pass, then notched his third at 77:09 off a pass from Peter Khraish. Ferrum out-shot Berea 34-10 and closed with a 13-3 edge in corner kicks.

KEY STATS
Ferrum: Ricks 3 goals; GK Derek Thomas 45 min, 4 saves; GK Marco Rivera 45 min, 3 saves
Berea: DeHart 90 min, 15 saves

COACH'S THOUGHTS
"I'm very happy to get the win today," said Coach Enda Crehan. "Being able to rest a few starters and play guys that have not yet seen the field was important. We used 25 guys today and everyone played a role. We're looking forward for a few days of rest."

NEXT GAME
Crehan's team will be back in action Friday, Sept. 22, at home against Covenant College. The game gets underway at 6:00 p.m. at Penn-Roediger Field.
