ROCKVILLE CENTRE, N.Y. - Sept. 24, 2013 - PRLog -- Dunn’s hat trick was the first hat trick by a Tar Heel since Courtney Jones scored three goals against Duke in 2010.

Summer Green scored the other goal, converting a penalty kick with 4:07 left in the match.

Katie Brown assisted on Dunn’s second goal at 63:39, and Paige Nielsen and Satara Murray assisted on Dunn’s third goal at 70:07.
