FSU ended a two-game losing skid with the league win and settle at 4-5 overall. Wesley is 4-3-1.
 
What's even more impressive about Dalphon's trifecta, is that all three tallies came in the second half after the Bobcats trailed 1-0 at intermission.
 
FSU outshot Wesley 14-3 in the first half, but the Wolverines carried a 1-0 cushion into intermission after Janiah Moore scored off an assist from Aline Check with just 39 seconds showing on the first half clock.
 
The second half was a different story entirely as Frostburg found the net four times and held a 14-2 lead in shots.
 
Dalphon's first goal came in the 47^th minute when freshman Brooke Shehade that evened the count at 1-1.
 
Roughly 15 minutes later, the duo of Shehade and Dalphon gave Frostburg a 2-1 cushion. Shehade dribbled to the end line and a left footed cross was poked home by Dalphon into the lower right corner of the net.
 
Moore evened things up for the Wolverines two minutes after Dalphon's second goal when she scored off another assist from Check to make the score 2-2.
 
The game's final two scores came from Frostburg for the 4-2 final. Sophomore Danielle Ferris headed home a goal in the 69^th minute off a cross from freshman Jesse Dunagan.
 
Dalphon sealed the win for the Bobcats in the 86^th minute when Wesley was whistled for a foul in the 18-yard box and Frostburg was given a penalty kick. Dalphon slid the attempt into the lower right corner to complete her hat trick.
 
In goal, senior Karen Belteton played the first half and stopped two shots, while sophomore Rhianna Lapen played the second half and didn't need to make a save. Wesley netminder Sam Brannigan made 10 saves in the loss.
