Victory Ensures Ravens Of Winning Season

LEICESTER, Mass. (October 18, 2000) - Kelly Henry (Wyoming, R.I.) scored with under four minutes remaining in the game as Franklin Pierce University defeated Becker 2-1 on Wednesday.

Henry took a feed from Karen Clarke (Brewster, N.Y.) to score the goal, ensuring the Ravens of a winning season for the first time in program history.

Becker took a 1-0 lead into halftime on a goal 10 minutes into the game by Shana Hazen.

FP controlled play throughout the contest, but could not find the back of the net until 19:58 remaining in the contest. Chrystean Page (Turner, Maine) corraled a pass from Hilary Shaw (Gardiner, Maine) to tie the score at 1-1.

Sophomore keeper Kasey McClements (Ashland, Mass.) earned her sixth win in goal after taking over for Irene Smith (Olivebridge, N.Y.) in the second half.

FP outshot Becker 19 to five, and put 15 shots on goal to Becker's two. FP also held the advantage in penalty corners, eight to five.

The Ravens will be back in action on Saturday when they host UMass Lowell in a critical NE-10 match-up.
