That's how this Southern Highland soccer star made a statement on debut.
Former Southern Highlands resident, Georgie Lewis recently relocated to the United States after signing with Indian Hills Community College in Ottumwa, Iowa.
After such a daunting move and life-style change, it would almost be expected for Georgie to take some time to settle in.
Learn her new playing system and then eventually become comfortable.
Not Georgie Lewis.
In her debut match for Indian Hills Community College, Georgie came out and scored a hat-trick.
Georgie's grandfather and lawn bowls extraordinaire, Mr Gordon Lewis was ecstatic with his grand daughter's performance.
"Georgie arrived at her college after three plane flights, was in quarantine then came out well," Mr Lewis said.
"She passed her medical and fitness test and was then chosen in the first eleven for her team.
"In the team's first trial match, Indian Hill's first eleven won the match 4-3.
"Georgie scored a hat-trick.
"It was all happening for her in the first seven days of being in America.
"Scoring three goals in her first match is a mammoth first week. I'm very proud of her.
"We all know sport can be very cruel at times, and things can change very quickly, but this is a great start for her."
