Hislop's five points, including
200th of career, leads Ravens
RINDGE, N.H. (October 5,
2005) - Franklin Pierce, ranked No. 8 in this week's
National Soccer Coaches Association of America (NSCAA)/adidas
Division II poll, rode two goals in the opening ten minutes in
posting a 3-0 victory over Le Moyne College in Northeast-10
Conference women's soccer action at Sodexho Field this afternoon.
Senior All-American
Laura Hislop (Belfast, Northern Ireland)
played a role in all three Franklin Pierce goals with two goals and
an assist for her fifth five-point outing of the season. Hislop
became just the second player in program history to reach the
200-career point plateau with her opening goal 6:33 into the match.
Hislop now ranks 11th in NCAA Division II history with
204 points. Former three-time All-American Pauliina Miettinen
notched a Division II record 309 points for the Ravens from
1995-98.
Hislop netted her team-leading
fifth match-winning goal of the year when she took a pass from
freshman Ann Foley (Rockland,
Mass./Rockland) and fired a shot into the right
corner of the net just 6:33 into the match. Less than two minutes
later, Hislop spotted sophomore Taryn Welker (Wayne,
Pa./Conestoga) with a cross for a shot to the right
side of the goal at 8:12.
The Ravens iced the match in the
77th minute when Hislop gathered a loose ball and fired
a shot from the top of the penalty area that bounced through the
legs of Le Moyne sophomore goalkeeper Jessica Cochol
(Canandaigua, N.Y./Canandaigua).
Franklin Pierce junior
Linnea Authier (East Longmeadow, Mass./East
Longmeadow) made four saves to preserve her second
shutout of the season (seventh career). Cochol made nine saves for
the Dolphins, who were out-shot 26-5 in the match.
Franklin Pierce (9-1-1, 7-1-1
NE-10) is back in action on Saturday for a key Conference and
regional match up with No. 19 UMass Lowell at 3 p.m. Le Moyne
(4-6-1, 2-6-1 NE-10) hosts Merrimack College on Saturday at noon.
