Freshman Stephanie Hartenstein Sparks 4-0 Win Over UMass Lowell

RINDGE, N.H. (October 3, 2000) - Freshman Stephanie Hartenstein(Chelmsford, Mass.) came off the bench to score three goals as the Franklin Pierce University women's soccer team beat UMass Lowell, 4-0, in a Northeast-10 Conference match at Crystal Field.

Hartenstein entered the game in 33rd minute with the Ravens (7-1, 5-0 NE-10) unable to penetrate the packed in defense of the River Hawks (5-5, 3-5 NE-10). She changed that in the 41st minutes when she tracked down a through pass from Andrea Caesar (Visby, Sweden) and beat UMass Lowell goalkeeper Jaime Powers (Palmer, Mass.) with a hard shot to the far post from 15 yards out.

The Ravens went up 2-0 just 70 seconds later when Nicole Cheadle (West Chester, Pa.) charged through the box and scored on a header off a corner kick from Julia Uusmalmi (Tampere, Finland).

Hartenstein capped off the three-minute flurry when she one-timed a pass from Jenny Petronis (Burnt Hills, N.Y.) from 15 yards to make it 3-0 in the 44th minute.

Hartenstein capped off her hat trick in the 71st minute with a nice second effort off a pass from Jillian Tente (Wakefield, R.I.). She is now fourth on the team in scoring with five goals and 11 points.

The Ravens had a distinct advantage in shots (30-0) and corner kicks (15-0). Powers came up with 10 saves, while Franklin Pierce Kim Higgins made one save to record her third shutout of the season.

Franklin Pierce is back in action Saturday when they travel to face American International College. UMass Lowell also resumes play Saturday, hosting the College of St. Rose.
