I was asked if this was the first Hat Trick for the REVs. I remember another one by Alberto Naveda against the Metro-Stars (Meola). Wasn't it the game he scored from midfield? Who has more recollections or time to look into old stats?
The only other Revs hat trick was indeed by Beto against Two-Ton Tony (before he slimmed down) and the Mutts in '97. However, that wasn't his midfield boomer game - he scored that one against Colorado (in '96, I believe). I'm sure that you could find the exact dates and details on Fred's site.
yur stats are correct. its amazing how there is only 2 hat tricks in our history. especially with the calibur of forwards we've had over the years. diaz-arce, joe max, diallo, saverese, etc. lets hope that twellman can stay for a while and be the first with multiple hat tricks. maybe against the mutts in the playoffs?? cheers
Here is the only other hat trick in Revs history. Interesting to note that it was a hat trick with no assists. http://www.mlsnet.com/games/97/0530metne.html Andy
