Bernabeu’s first-half hat trick guides men’s soccer to win over Toccoa Falls

TOCCOA FALLS, Ga. – After setting the single-season goals record last season, Eric Bernabeu appears to be back to his scoring ways after scoring his first hat trick of the season in UPIKE's 4-2 win against Toccoa Falls on Saturday.

Despite the win, it did not start positively for the Bears as the Eagles scored in the very first minute of the match.

But from there, Bernabeu took over with three straight goals in a span of 22 minutes to give the Bears a 3-1 lead. Tyrone Hayden and Billy Quiteno each picked up an assist in the Spaniard's hat trick.

The hat trick is the sixth in Bernabeu's record-writing UPIKE career, the most in program history.

Toccoa Falls tried to make it interesting with a goal in the 68th minute to draw within one, but Hunter Adams picked up a strong insurance goal toward the end of the match to send the dagger home. Quiteno earned his second assist of the game on the match's final goal.

UP NEXT

Men's soccer will have a long 11-day break before their next match against Salem International in Salem, W.Va. on September 18th.
