The report says Hewitt scored 10 goals across Hawthorne’s three wins during the week, while also setting a program record with 40 goals in the season. Her hat-trick against Lakeland gives Hawthorne a clear attacking headline as the tournament moves toward its decisive stages.
The margin also stands out. A 3-0 quarterfinal win against the bracket’s top seed represents a major result, although the single-source report means the score and surrounding details should be treated cautiously until independently confirmed.
Hewitt is competing against a group of players who also delivered decisive contributions:
The goalkeeper candidates bring their own strong cases. Brayden Blanken reportedly made 21 saves from 23 shots for Emerson, while Lila Cahalan helped Glen Rock complete a three-win week without conceding against Indian Hills. Olivia Keenan kept two clean sheets for Wayne Hills and made 10 saves in a win over Lakeland.
The weekly vote is scheduled to close at 17:00 Thursday. Before then, Hewitt’s reported hat-trick will remain the defining performance - and Hawthorne’s next tournament match will show whether the quarterfinal shock can become a deeper run.
