North Texas opened the 2013 season and the Conference USA era with a resounding 9-1 win at Texas Southern on Friday night.

Rachel Holden stole the show with a hat trick in her first collegiate game. The freshman torched the Tigers for three goals before taking a seat in the 60th minute, which made her the first freshman to record a hat trick in her debut since her teammate Kelsey Hodges in 2010.

Amber Haggerty opened the flood gates in the 24th minute, and the Mean Green added three more goals over the next four minutes. NT led 6-1 at the halftime break, which included a pair of goals from Lynda Hercules.

North Texas returns to action on Sunday for its home opener against Houston Baptist at 1 p.m.
