HUNTSVILLE | Picking up its first win of the season, The University of Alabama in Huntsville women's soccer team used a pair of second half goals to push past visiting Mars Hill by a 2-1 score on Saturday afternoon at Charger Park. UAH improves to 1-1-1 on the year, while the Lions fall to 1-2-1.

Trailing 1-0 after the Lions scored in the 23rd minute, UAH would tie the contest in the 63rd when Caroline Buchanan tallied off an assist from Carmen Endicott to level the affair at 1-1, and less than five minutes later in the 68th, the hosts would go in front as Buchanan assisted on Brynn Colvin's strike that would prove to be the game-winning tally.

Colvin's score is her second in as many games, and it moves her to a tie for sixth on the all-time UAH scoring list with 22 for her career.

This is the sixth time that Buchanan has recorded a multi-point game.

The Chargers dominated the contest more than the final score would indicate, outshooting the visitors by a wide 17-6 margin including a 12-4 edge in attempts that were on target, though Mars Hill did earn four corners to UAH's two. 

Colvin led UAH with six shots of which four were on goal, while Hailey Hicks registered three saves in earning the victory in goal for the Blue and White.

The victory is the first for UAH against Mars Hill in three meetings, as the Chargers are now 1-1-1 all-time against the Lions.

UAH will aim to build off of Saturday's win on Friday when the team travels to Pensacola to open up Gulf South Conference play. Kick-off at West Florida is slated for 5 p.m.
