Scranton, PA - Brittany Beaton and Julie Dougherty each had two goals and Carly Bergstrom added two assists as Marywood University earned their first victory of the season with a 5-1 win over Wells College Wednesday night in non-conference field hockey action. Marywood, who also got a goal and assist from Nicole Wessner, scored two goals in the first 6:16 of the game to move to 1-2 on the year while Wells falls to 0-2.
Beaton (Bethel, PA) opened the scoring for Marywood just 4:04 into the game when she took a feed from Nicole Wessner (Hamburg, PA) for the game's first goal. Wessner then recorded her first collegiate tally when she scored unassisted on a deflected shot off a defender.
Julie Dougherty (Wading River, NY) would put Marywood up 3-0 early in the second half by finishing off a Bergstrom (Raritan, NJ) penalty corner and then Beaton would score on another Bergstrom assist when she scored in an open goal after Bergstrom sent a pass across the goalmouth.
Wells would make it 4-1 when Brittany Stanton scored unassisted at the 47:40 mark but Dougherty closed the scoring with a goal with just under a minute remaining to give Marywood the 5-1 win.
Jamie Bowman (Cheshire, CT) made four saves to earn the win for Marywood while Madeline Bass (six saves) and Amanda Catalano (0 saves) split time in goal for the Express.
