JAMESTOWN, N.D. -- Inaki Aldao scored his second hat trick of the season while reigning A.I.I. Player of the Week Toby Millward scored a brace and an assist to snap the Bellevue University men's soccer team out of their recent funk with a thorough 6-0 win over the University of Jamestown on Wednesday evening at the Jimmie Turf Field.
Records:
Bellevue: 5-4-0
Jamestown: 1-4-0
Recap: BU 6, UJ 0
Inaki Aldao and Oumar Sissoko scored less than two minutes apart inside the first 20 minutes as Bellevue match their season-high with six goals.
Aldao scored the opener unassisted in the 16th minute before Sissoko curled in a shot from distance following a pass from Alex Cuenca.
Aldao bagged another in the 29th minute, after a pass from Gabriel Gaiotto sprung him free for a breakaway opportunity, and the Bruins rode that 3-0 lead into the interval.
Toby Millward, who had a hand in all three second half goals, four minutes after the break to push the Bruin lead to 4-0.
Millward fed Aldao in the 69th minute as Aldao completed his second hat trick and Millward provided the final strike in the 75th minute for his second-straight multi-goal game and third of the season.
Bellevue out-shot the Jimmies 14-6 on the evening. BU keeper Harry Wray was not tasked with making any saves as he earned his second, and the team's third, of the year.
