SPARKILL, N.Y. (September 4, 2021) -- Freshman Hailey Goodman (Blackstone, Mass.) went for two goals and an assist to put together a five-point afternoon on Saturday, as the Franklin Pierce University women's soccer team ran up a 5-0 win on the road, in non-conference play at St. Thomas Aquinas. Junior Viridiana Vazquez Kloss (Veracruz, Mexico) added a goal and an assist for the Ravens at Spartan Field.

With the win, Franklin Pierce is off to a 2-0-0 start to the season, while STAC opens at 0-1-0.

Things started innocuously enough, as the first half featured only one goal. Sophomore Tess McKenzie (Warren, R.I.) broke the ice in the 35^th minute, with her second goal in as many days, off a feed from junior Amanda Van Cor (Haverhill, Mass.).

The floodgates opened after halftime, as the Ravens poured in four goals in a span of just 17:16. Freshman Jasmine Perez-Acosta (Cape Coral, Fla.) notched her first collegiate goal with an unassisted tally in the 56^th minute. Just 5:05 later, in the 61^st minute, Goodman picked up her first point of the day, as she set up the first goal of the season for Vazquez Kloss.

Goodman then provided the final two salvos of the afternoon. In the 73^rd minute, she finished off a feed from Vazquez Kloss to make it a 4-0 game. Goodman then found the net again just 58 seconds later, in the 74^th minute, with an unassisted tally to cap the scoring.

Freshman Gabby Calidonio (Flagler Beach, Fla.) got the start in the Franklin Pierce net and stopped both shots she faced over the opening 70:41 to pick up the win (2-0-0). Freshman Emilie Fox (Bridgewater, Mass.) added two saves over the final 19:19 to finish off the shutout. At the other end of the field, junior Colleen Stevens (0-1-0) faced a 21-shot barrage and finished with 16 saves in the losing effort for STAC.

The Ravens are back in action on Saturday, Sept. 11, when they travel to Nyack for a non-conference contest at 3 p.m. in Secaucus, N.J.
