SPRINGFIELD, Mass. (October 17, 2004) -
The Franklin Pierce field hockey team defeated host American
International College 1-0 in Northeast-10 Conference action this
afternoon. The Ravens swept the season series between the two
clubs, as they also upended the Yellow Jackets 3-2 in a home match
earlier this season. With the win, Franklin Pierce improves its
overall mark to 5-8 and their conference record to 4-8. American
International falls to 2-14 overall and 2-12 in league play
following their final home game of the regular season.
Senior Chelsey Munson (Weybridge,
Vt./Middlebury Union) continued her clutch play for Franklin
Pierce, as she netted her team-leading sixth goal of the season
10:38 into the second half. The unassisted goal was Munson's
second game-winner of the year versus American International and
third game-winner of the season. It also marked the fourth time
that she found the cage versus the Yellow Jackets this season, as
she tallied a hat trick the last time these two teams met.
Junior goalkeeper Brandi Guertin
(Bellingham, Mass /Bellingham) was dominant in net for the
Ravens, saving all nine shots that she faced en route to her fourth
win of the season. With her second shutout of the season, Guertin
tied former Raven Kasey McClements' ('02) program
record of seven career shutouts. Freshman Cindy Armand (Danvers,
Mass./Danvers) suffered her 12th loss of the year despite saving
ten shots for the Yellow Jackets.
Franklin Pierce (5-8, 4-8 NE-10) will return to action on
Wednesday, as they host Southern Connecticut State University in a
Northeast-10 Conference matchup. American International (2-14, 2-12
NE-10) will also play on Wednesday when they travel to Bryant
University for a league match beginning at 4 p.m.
