Bridgewater's Emily Sousa Gives Albright College Edge Over Penn State

Albright College freshman Emily Sousa, of Bridgewater, had a hat trick in just her fifth collegiate game, leading the Lions to a 4-1 win over Penn State-Harrisburg on Wednesday.

After starting the season 0-2, the Albright College women's soccer team has bounced back to a .500 record.

Albright set an aggressive offensive pace early in the game. Following a near goal by sophomore Taylor Cassedy, Sousa netted her second goal of the season on a long breakaway to give Albright the 1-0 lead.

According to the Lions' roster, Sousa was a varsity letterwinner in soccer and lacrosse, and student council member at Bridgewater-Raritan High School before graduating in June. She has volunteered with Special Olympics and is majoring in education at Albright.
