Verrette tallied a first-half hat trick Friday night as Sacred Heart won its season opener over Delaware State 4-2. The senior midfielder, who had five goals last season to lead the Pioneers, got Sacred Heart on the scoreboard in the seventh minute when her corner kick found the net. In the 32nd minute, Verrette combined with Alexis Parlato (Center Moriches, NY/Center Moriches) for a one-touch goal inside the 18-yard box. Verrette capped off her triple with goal in the 43rd minute.
