With her third goal, Morris, a junior from Spanish Town, Jamaica, joins
Emarie Holland, Kathleen Stewart and Renee Ulloa as the only other Pioneers to score at hat trick.
Jessica Bell, who scored twice in Friday's win over Southwestern Assemblies of God, finished the scoring salvo in the 66
th minute. Although she didn't score WBU's final goal, Morris provided the assist, her fourth of the year.
The Pioneers dominated the offensive end of the pitch, outshooting the Cavaliers, 19-7, which included eight shots on goal.
In her second start of the year,
Kasey Hayes got her second consecutive win, recording three saves without allowing a goal in 63-plus minutes.
