Unique performance by Pinoké attacker Kari Stam
Striker Kari Stam scored three of Pinoké's four goals in the home match against Rotterdam (4-1 win) on Sunday. That hat-trick earned her a place in the history books of the Steekneuzen.
For Stam, it was her second hat-trick as a Pinoké player. Last season she also scored three times in one game, in the home game with HGC on the second matchday (3-2 win). In Pinoké's Hoofdklasse history, it never happened before that a player produced more than one hat-trick at the highest level. So that means a nice first for the 26-year-old striker.
