BEA goalkeeper Makayla Spicer made 10 saves, while Somerset’s Sophie Urbain made five stops.
“We came out on fire and popped two in the net,” BEA coach Jared Moore said. “Khloe Cunningham worked the ball into the box and earned a PK, and Adrienne Hacker finished it. Sybil found Bickle for a great strike and Bick blasted it into the next. She had a great game. The runs she was making were really good.
“Just a great team win this evening against a good Somerset team.”
Hacker scored all three BEA goals against Forest Hills, including the final one in regulation on a penalty kick at 67:29. Down 2-0, she scored on a penalty kick at 39:33 before tying the game at 44:34 thanks to an assist by Thompson.

“After we found ourselves down again, we pressured the box on a corner and earned another PK, and Adrienne put it in to finish her hat trick,” Moore said. “It’s hard to take one PK let alone two, and she was fantastic.”
