It was another day of hat tricks for the Storm men’s and women’s soccer squads as they swept Dubuque at Buxton Stadium Saturday, the men winning 4-0 and the women 5-0.

Ronaldo Ordaz-Zambra scored first for the Storm in the men’s contest, followed by Baraka Ellie as the Storm took a 2-0 lead in the first 30 minutes of the contest and bringing that into the halftime break. Ordaz-Zambra struck again twice to earn the hat trick late in the contest, as the Storm won the important American Rivers Conference contest that currently has them as the #2 seed, and waiting on a result today from Wartburg to determine the final standings.

The Storm women again saw Cassie Nash dominate from the start, scoring the first two goals in the first 21 minutes as the Storm pulled away, earning another from Brissa Valadez to take a 3-0 lead into the half. Nash completed the hat trick for the Storm early in the second half, and Simpson ended up with another goal from Anna Scott to pull away. The Storm are the #3 seed in the conference tournament, but will have a non-conference matchup with Wisconsin-River Falls today in their final tune-up of the season.
