Garcia made history for the Royals, becoming just the 11th player in program history to record a hat trick in a single match. The freshman forward scored in the 47th, 49th, and 89th minutes to lead Hope International to a dominant 5-0 GSAC road win over Life Pacific. He led all players with five shots, including four on frame, and added an assist to finish with seven total points. Garcia is the first HIU player in nearly four years to score three goals in a match.
