Saruwatari scored three goals across the two games to take her team-leading tally up to seven goals on the season.
 
She scored once and also assisted on a goal in Point Loma's 7-0 rout of Jessup on Thursday, as the Sea Lions set a new NCAA-era program record for most goals in a game.
 
Saruwatari followed that up with two goals in a 3-2 win at Dominican on Saturday, which kept PLNU unbeaten in conference play.
 
On the season, Saruwatari ranks third in the PacWest in goals (7) and points (16).
