Video: Harvey Scores Hat-Trick In DePaul Win

Bermuda’s Jalen Harvey made an outstanding showing yesterday [Sept 17] for his University team, scoring three goals in only 18 minutes to lead DePaul to a 3-2 comeback win over Drake.

DePaul was down 2-0 when Harvey began his run of three goals with a header in the 80th minute, and then scored his 2nd in the 87th minute to push the game into overtime. He then completed the hat-trick in the 98th minute to lead his team to victory.

“I was ticked off that I didn’t start like a lot of other guys would’ve been,” the school’s website quotes Harvey as saying. “Once I got my chance, I wanted to prove a point. Down two-nil, what better way to prove a point.

“The most I ever scored in college was two goals in a season. But this isn’t just about scoring. It’s more about the team staying together, coming back and getting the win.”

Video highlights of the match:

DePaul coach Craig Blazer said, “His performance today is quite a statement. We knew he was capable of having games at this level.

The young Bermudian received a scholarship to the Chicago University, and has also been the recipient of the Earl “Townsey” Russell Scholarship from the BFA valued at $5,000 per year.

Prior to leaving Bermuda, he played football for North Village Rams, Somerset Eagles Football Academy and Bascome FC. The talented young athlete has also represented Bermuda internationally in cricket, playing against the Bahamas in the ICC Americas U15 Championship in 2008.
