HOW IT HAPPENED 
 
• Franklin Pierce scored on its first two power plays. Brynn Levinson opened the scoring midway through the first period, and Caleigh Murphy put the Ravens in front 2-0 early in the second. 
 
• Chaput scored her team-leading 12th goal to pull Sacred Heart within one less than two minutes after Murphy's goal. Franklin Pierce, though, tallied again, this time at even strength, at 7:32. 
 
• The Pioneers made a strong push early in the third and closed back within a goal when Holm finished from right in front of the net at 9:08. Sacred Heart kept the pressure on and had several good scoring chances but were denied by Raven goaltender Jen Hertl, who finished with 27 saves. Hailey Anderson then scored a big insurance goal for FPC with less than four minutes remaining. 
 
NOTES 
 
• The Pioneers had a 16-11 edge in shots in the third period. 
 
• Carly Greene stopped 25 shots in goal for Sacred Heart. 
 
• Ally Cohen contributed two assists for the Pioneers, who entered the game unbeaten in their last four road games.
