Less than 10 minutes later, Rice got the hat trick to tie things up. BW gained the lead off a corner kick from senior defender Anna Wenzinger (Columbus/Bishop Watterson). Freshman defender Kayleigh Neale (Holley, N.Y.) rose above the defense an put in the back of the net. The Yellow Jackets were not done, and Rice hit the back of the net for her fourth and made it a 5-3 lead. BW made the statement and Ella Barth (Highland/Mayfield) got in on the action to make it six unanswered on the night. Sophomore Alissa Scattino (Girard/Warren John F.
