COSTA MESA, Calif. (Aug. 28) -- Jessica Henson scored the go-ahead goal in the first half and Andrea Larsen tallied less than five minutes later, spurring Seattle Pacific University to its historic first-ever women's soccer victory, 3-0 over Vanguard University Tuesday night.

Sarah Richards (Fr., Bellevue, Wa./Newport) added an insurance goal in the second half and goalkeeper Jennifer Hull (Fr., Eugene, Or./Sheldon) made eight saves in posting the shutout.

Vanguard dropped to 0-2-0. The Falcons visit Cal State Dominguez Hills Friday.
