THE ACTION

• The Ravens just missed on a power-play opportunity with 25 seconds remaining in the first as sophomore Haley Parker ripped a shot from the slot off the crossbar.
• Franklin Pierce broke through at 3:38 in the second period as Sugar backhanded the rebound in off of Parker's initial shot from the slot that Talcott saved.

• Holmes tallied her second goal of the game at 3:57 of the third period after collecting the rebound off of Kramer's initial saved shot from the slot and floating it up over Talcott's right shoulder.
• The Purple Knights went on a power play at 6:04, but all three shots during the woman advantage - by Nichols, junior Jordan Monbouquette (Wayland, Mass./Lawrence Academy) and sophomore Riley Nichols (Gilford, N.H./Tilton School) - were turned away by Ostrander.
