Answer

"A hat trick" is a cricketing term which other sports have borrowed. Useful to know.

Answer

In English, he does not score a double. He scores two. A hat trick is correct! Good job. There is no other name or specific phrase for any other number of goals. I know because i play soccer(futbol) 
Hope this helps.
