Archive of Live Video Webcast
Cote Cote stopped 11 shots, the highest total in her young career, on Saturday afternoon against LIU Post.

RINDGE, N.H. (September 8, 2012) – Freshman forward Keliann Margiotta scored twice and had an assist, all in the second half, on Saturday afternoon to lead No. 6 nationally ranked LIU Post over the Franklin Pierce University field hockey team in non-conference play at Sodexo Field. Freshman goalkeeper Sarah Cote (Athol, Mass.) made 11 saves in defeat for Franklin Pierce.

With the loss, Franklin Pierce falls to 2-1 (0-0 Northeast-10), while LIU Post improves to 2-0 (0-0 Pennsylvania State).

LIU Post opened the scoring barrage 18:27 into the first half, as freshman forward Claire Steijn found some room to maneuver along the end-line on the right-wing side. She sent a pass from there into the goal mouth, where junior forward Carlee Dragon rapped home her third goal of the season.

The one-timer would become the theme of the afternoon, as each of the Pioneers' three second-half goals would come by putting away crossing passes. Just 5:41 into the second frame, sophomore forward Lyn-Marie Wilson finished off her second goal of the season off a feed from Margiotta. Only 49 seconds after the Wilson goal, Margiotta scored her first of two goals in a span of 3:21, both assisted by Wilson, as LIU Post won going away.

Cote saw 16 shots on her cage and was under fire most of the afternoon. She turned aside 11 of them, but it would not be enough, as she took the loss (2-1) for Franklin Pierce. Freshman Becca May stopped all four shots on goal at her end of the field to post the shutout and pick up the win (2-0) for LIU Post.

The Ravens return to the field on Wednesday, Sept. 12, when they remain home to host Massachusetts Lowell in a non-conference contest. Game time is set for 6 p.m. at Sodexo Field.
