FP Field Hockey Team Rallies Past Bryant

Ravens Remain Unbeaten in NE-10 with 4-2 Win

WINCHENDON, Mass. (September 26, 2000) - The improbable season of the Franklin Pierce University field hockey team continued Tuesday as the Ravens came back from a two-goal deficit to beat Bryant College, 4-2, at The Winchendon School.

The Ravens rallied for three goals in the final 17 minutes to remain unbeaten in the Northeast-10 Conference. FPC, which had never won more than three games in its three previous seasons competing at the varsity level, is now 5-2 overall and 4-0 in the NE-10.

Bryant (2-5, 2-2 NE-10) jumped out to a 2-0 lead on a pair of goals by Elizabeth Gunn (Vineyard Haven, Mass.) in the opening 10 minutes of the rain-soaked contest.

FP got one back on a goal by Debbie Jones (Escondido, Calif.) with 20 minutes left in the first half, but went into the half trailing 2-1.

Karen Clarke (Brewster, N.Y.) tied the game in the 54th minute and Kelly Henry (Wyoming, R.I.) put the Ravens ahead five minutes later. Chrystean Page (Turner, Maine), who had a goal waived off in the first half, added an insurance marker with 3:20 left.
