Pranali, Karen shine with fine hat-tricks

Pranali Chavan and Karen Pais both notched up fine hat-tricks in leading Poddar International SC and Bodyline FC respectively to emphatic victories in Group-A matches of the WIFA Women's Football Championship today.
The dashing striker Pranali fired home the first three goals (15th, 24th and 47th minutes) as Poddar International from Kolhapur tamed Rahul Football Academy of Mumbai by a comfortable 5-0 margin.
Yashshree Deshmukh added the fourth in the 54th minute before Aditi Patil struck the fifth in the final minute of the 60-minute encounter.
Earlier, Karen Pais, a former junior Indian striker, showed her class with some clinical finishing against United Poona FC.

She got down to business almost immediately scoring Bodyline's opening goal in very fourth minute, which opened the floodgates.
She struck two more goals in the 19th and 35th minutes to complete her hat-trick.
Karen's partner upfront, Reetika Sahani, got a brace of goals (17th & 42nd minutes), while Kimberly Fernandes (22nd minute) and Juhi Shah (57th minute) complete the scoring tally.
