Aurora, NY – Jennifer Hilts, Lydia Dewart and Alexandra Livesey all netted two goals apiece to help Nazareth earn its first win of the 2017 season, a 8-0 triumph over Wells College Wednesday night. 

With the win, Nazareth improves to 1-2 on the year, while Wells drops to 0-3.   

After going the first two games without scoring a goal, Nazareth's  offense came alive to pour in five first half goals, including Freshman Natalie L'Hommedieu opening the scoring just :35 seconds in off a deflection in front of the net.  It was her first collegiate goal.

Nazareth's leading goal scorer from a season ago, Jennifer Hilts, scored back-to-back goals 13 minutes apart to push the visitors lead to 3-0.

The Golden Flyers would find the back of the cage two more times before the horn sounded, beginning with freshman Alexandra Livesey scoring off a well-executed penalty corner.  Less than a minute later, Dewart cashed in her first collegiate goal from 10-yards out for a 5-0 advantage.

Dewart, who scored seven minutes before halftime, netted her second of the day over 20 minutes later on a scramble in front.

The Livesey sisters, Jessica and Alexandra, closed out the scoring for Nazareth.

Kimber Nourse logged 60 minutes in net, making one save.  Ashley Mann closed out the game and picked up a save.

Emily Prescott, Leah Good, Dewart, L'Hommedieu, and Jessica Livesey all had assists in the game.

Nazareth returns to action on Saturday, beginning Empire 8 conference play on the road at Utica with a 4:30 p.m. start time.
