HARTFORD, Conn.— Senior Caroline DiGiovanni (Harwich, Mass.) registered her second two-goal game of the season as No. 6 Babson College registered a 4-2 victory over Trinity College in non-conference field hockey action Sunday afternoon at Robin Sheppard Field.

With the victory, the Beavers have captured their last three games to improve to 8-1 overall while the Bantams drop to 2-5 overall on the season.

Juniors Emma Smith (Kenilworth, Ill.) and Ashlen Braren (Westwood, Mass.) scored goals for the Beavers, and senior Alex Michelotti (Englewood, Colo.), junior Grace Mullaney (Boxford, Mass.) and sophomore Charlotte Roe (Wayne, Pa.) collected assists. First-year Madison Tibbals (Gorham, Maine) made two saves in goal in the win.

First-year Lily Vincent (Greenwich, Conn.) and junior Fiona Murphy (Windsor, Conn.) tallied the two Trinity goals with assists from sophomore Claire Griffith (Westfield, Mass.) and junior Brooke DiBiase (Chatham, N.J.). Senior Hayley Gable (Gilbertsville, Pa.) also made two saves in goal in the setback.

Babson scored the only goal in an evenly matched first quarter as Roe fed a pass to DiGiovanni inside the scoring circle and DiGiovanni did a 180-degree spin to her left and fired a long-range shot past Gable in the sixth minute for a 1-0 lead.

Trinity came back to tie the game in the 25th minute when Vincent scored with an assist from Griffith. The Beavers needed just two minutes to regain the lead on a penalty corner, as Mullaney inserted the corner to Michelotti, who stopped the ball and teed it up for Smith, and she blasted a shot from the top of the circle past Gable for a 2-1 lead at the half.

The Green and White extended the lead to 3-1 five minutes into the third quarter, as Braren broke up a Trinity clear and went in alone on the Trinity goal. Gable broke up the first attempt but Braren stepped around the keeper and buried the shot into an empty net for her second goal in two games.

The hosts pulled back to within one goal with three minutes remaining in the third quarter as Murphy scored with an assist from DiBiase, but Babson tacked on an insurance goal with 2:25 remaining in the fourth. DiGiovanni received a pass from Mullaney and got off a shot, which was blocked, and DiGiovanni slid the rebound under Gable for her second of the game and a two-goal cushion.

Babson finished with a 15-7 margin in total shots, including 7-4 in shots on goal, and took five of the six penalty corners in the game.

The Beavers return home for their next three games, beginning Wednesday against Roger Williams at 6 p.m. at MacDowell Field. Trinity hosts Connecticut College Wednesday at 6 p.m.
