Pierce was a big reason Ripon won both their games last week, to help the Red Hawks begin the 2017 season with a 2-0 record, scoring five goals and assisting on another. In Friday's 6-1 win against Lakeland, Pierce scored a career-high four goals, which ranks third in program history for a single game, while also marking her second career hat trick. She followed that up with a one goal, one assist performance in a 2-1 victory against Saint Mary's (MN), which saw her score the game-winner five minutes into overtime.
