Megan Wolfe recorded her second hat trick in three games to help propel the Eagan Wildcats girls’ hockey team to a 6-0 victory over East Ridge on Thursday night. Eagan is now 3-0 on the year and has outscored its opponents 15-3 over the first three games.
The Wildcats got off to a fast start when Sarah Jackson scored just 24 seconds into the game. Wolfe added two first-period goals to go along with goals by Alyssa Markstrom and Olivia Asta to give the Wildcats a commanding 5-0 lead after one period of play.
The fast 3-0 start to the year also includes a 6-1 opening night victory over Henry Sibley and a hard-fought 3-2 win over Eden Prairie. Eagan came back from a 2-0 deficit to best a strong Eden Prairie team that came into the game ranked 8th in the state.

Eagan will next play Park-Cottage Grove on Saturday.
