AURORA, N.Y. - Sophomore forward Abby Hanson (South Paris, Maine) scored a pair of goals to help lead the Beavers to their first win of the season against Wells College on Saturday afternoon. 

After a scoreless 1st quarter, the Beavers got on the scoreboard in the 22nd minute when Winter Adams (Rockland, Maine) found the goal on a beautiful long pass from Lindsay Boisvert (Westbrook, Maine).

Hanson scored for the Beavers just two minutes later, when she took advantage of a Wells turnover to double the Beavers lead in the 24th minute and help the Beavers take a 2-0 lead into halftime.

Hanson found the back of the goal for the 2nd time 7:44 into the 2nd half when Gabby Vincentsen (Bristol, Maine) sent a slap pass in front of the net to a wide open Hanson, who did not miss, giving the Beavers a 3-0 lead.

Vincentsen extended the Beaver lead five minutes later. After another Wells turnover, the ball found Vincentsen in front of the goal to fire a one-timer past the goalkeeper to give the Beavers a 4-0 lead.

Elizabeth Kendall (Guilford, Maine) made it a 5-0 game late in the 4th quarter when her slap shot found the goal after the Beavers were awarded a penalty corner. 

The win for the Beavers marks the first win in Head Coach Mary Sinclair's coaching career. 

The Beavers held a steep advantage in shots (26-5), shots on goal (15-1), and penalty corners (18-5). 

Ella Grant (Sturbridge, Mass.) made one save in picking up the shutout victory.
