Ana Salas proved to be problems for the Sharks all afternoon. Burzaco recorded her first career hat trick and picked up an assist. Salas scored two goals of her own and assisted on two others. The prolific dup finished the day with a combined 13 points.
Burzaco leads the NEC with 12 goals, while Salas sits in second with 11. Salas, however, does lead the conference in assists (11) and points (33).
Emily Villanueva provided the other two goals as she celebrated her Senior Day. Her first goal came off a penalty kick in the first half, before finding the back of the net again in the 78
th minute.
FDU outshot LIU 24-1 in the 90-minute match. They split their goals with two in the first half, and five strikes in the second stanza.
The Knights have now gone 14 straight matches without a loss. Their last defeat came on August 22. They have outscored NEC opponents 37-2 this season and have not surrendered a goal in their last three matches.
