The University of Denver women's soccer team avenged its loss against Middle Tennessee in the 2010 Sun Belt Conference Championship game on Friday, earning a 4-2 win over the Blue Raiders in the SBC opener for both teams.

Kristen Hamilton led DU with her second two-goal game of the season, while Nicholette DiGiacomo and Bria Beardsley also scored.

DU's Nicholette DiGiacomo scored on a penalty kick, but the Pioneers fell 2-1 to the No. 22 Auburn Tigers in the Denver Invitational on Sunday morning.

The Pioneers (6-2-0) finished the Denver Invitational 1-1-0.

"The first half, they were a little better than we were," said coach Jeff Hooker.
