Douglas scored five goals and added an assist for 11 points as Trevecca defeated Spring Hill 4-0 on Oct. 14 and won 3-0 at then-No. 10 Auburn Montgomery on Oct. 17. He contributed directly to six of the Trojans' seven goals, put eight of his nine shots on target and became Trevecca's NCAA Division II-era career goals leader.
The six-foot junior from St. Johns, Antigua, and The Webb School opened the week with his second hat trick of the season against Spring Hill. He scored at 42:57, 66:02 and 77:20, turning four shots into three goals in the home victory.
At AUM, Douglas helped put Trevecca in front by assisting
Daniel Shiel's goal at 6:09. He then finished twice in the second half, at 47:31 and 88:37, with
Haden Brown assisting both goals. His final finish was the 26th of his career, moving him past Jeremiah Wright's NCAA-era record of 25.
Trevecca's first victory in the AUM series delivered a program-record 11th win and secured the Trojans' first home Gulf South Conference Championship quarterfinal.
