THE ACTION

• In a back-and-forth opening quarter, the teams split four goals in the opening 3:32 before junior Kelci Waters netted her second goal of the period to cap a 4-0 run and give the Ravens a 5-2 lead by 5:10.
• Adams scored the first two goals in a tying 3-0 run, and neither team led again by more than one goal until the fourth stanza.
• McIlroy's tally at 9:20 of the final frame finished off a 3-0 spurt that provided the visitors an 11-9 lead, but Peddie (6:25) and Lynch (5:09) scored 1:16 apart to level the score.
• Hannes struck for the go-ahead marker at 1:16 before Saint Michael's won the ensuing draw. Godwin made a standout save of Conover's bid with 24 seconds to go, but a turnover provided the hosts the ball and a free-position attempt at six seconds. However, a giveaway by the Purple Knights on the play all but sealed the Franklin Pierce victory.
