RIC (7-3-1) got on the board just three minutes into the game when Dogbey headed in a corner kick from freshman midfielder Kevin Tay Munoz (Providence, RI). The Anchormen took the one goal lead heading into halftime after outshooting Worcester State (4-5) by an 11-6 margin. |

Dogbey put RIC up 2-0 at the 47:29 mark after he took a throw in from sophomore midfielder Dennis Vazquez (Providence, RI) and had some fancy footwork on the end line. Dogbey dribbled past a Worcester State defender and slipped a shot into the corner of the net from five yards out for the two goal advantage. |

Dogbey capped off the hat trick, his first of the 2016 campaign, when he took a header from Vazquez and went on a breakaway down the middle of the field. Dogbey then buried the ensuing shot into the back of the net in the 74th minute to propel the Anchormen to the 3-0 victory. |
