FP Field Hockey Team Drops First NE-10 Match

No. 10 Assumption Rallies for 2-1 Win 

WORCESTER, Mass. (September 30, 2000) - Stephanie Fleming (Feeding Hills, Mass.) scored a pair of unanswered goals Saturday as No. 10 nationally ranked Assumption College rallied to beat the Franklin Pierce University field hockey team, 2-1, in a Northeast-10 match.

The loss was the first conference setback suffered by the Ravens (5-3, 4-1 NE-10) in this, their inaugural season in the NE-10.

Freshman forward Debbie Jones (Escondido, Calif.) put the Ravens ahead in the fifth minute with her second goal in as many matches.

However, Fleming allowed the Greyhounds (6-3-1, 3-2 NE-10) to tie the match in the 19th minute, and got the game-winner in the 63rd minute.

The Ravens look to rebound Tuesday when they travel to face perennial power Bentley College in a 7:30 p.m. match in Waltham, Mass.
