CANYON, Texas  – Khadidra Debesette scored a hat-trick in the first half before adding another in the second half as the West Texas A&M women's soccer defeated Texas A&M-International, 8-0, on Monday afternoon at the Pitch. Debesette became the first Lady Buff in school history to score four goals in a match and tied the school record for most points in a match with eight.
 
"It is a good day when you score eight goals against any team," head coach Chad Webb said.  In the past 48 hours, we have focused a lot on gaining that composure in front of the goal and finishing those chances."
 
Rachel Herring opened the scoring in the seventh minute on a beautiful assist from Haley Girard. Girard's flick hit the streaking Herring, who calmly slotted it in the net. Debesette opened her scoring account in the 19^th minute when she blew past her defender and beat the keeper. Girard opened her 2015 scoring account on a beautiful pass from Emily Krenek. Debesette's second goal came as a result as Karyn Forbes header bouncing off the cross bar and landing at her feet. Debesette finished the hat trick in the 38^th minute when she chipped the ball over the keeper's outstretched arms. The Lady Buffs outshot TAMUI 12-1 in the first half with seven of those shots on goal.
 
After a slow start in the second half, Debesette wrote her name in the record books when she got on the end of Sydney Hickerson's cross. Hickerson added to the Dustdevils woes in the 75^th minute when she got on the end of McKylie Calligan's long ball and tapped it past the charging keeper. Katelyn Taschler scored her first goal of the season on a cross from Katilin Steele in the 80^th minute. WT finished the match with a 23-4 advantage in shots, 15 of those on goal.
