Down 2-0 in the second half at St. John's, Campana came off the bench and scored MU's first of three straight goals to rally and earn the comeback victory. At Seton Hall on Sunday, the rookie helped Bombacino notch a hat trick, assisting on her third goal of the game. Campana also tallied five shots on the week.
Bombacino notched the first hat trick in BIG EAST play this season with a trio of scores at Seton Hall on Sunday. The sophomore netted the game's first, third and fourth goals of a 5-0 victory as she also got credit for the game winner.
