RINDGE, N.H.

Howard scored the first goal of the game for the Ravens on Wednesday in the quarterfinal round of the Northeast-10 Conference Championships at Southern Connecticut State. She sent a first-half penalty stroke just inside the left post to put Franklin Pierce on the board.

Abernethy also scored a goal at Southern Connecticut State, a tally which, at the time, broke a 2-2 tie and gave the Ravens a lead at the end of the first half. Abernethy took the ball from midfield on a breakaway and stuffed a shot inside the near post as time expired in the period.
