UP NEXT FOR THE RAVENS 

Despite the loss, the Ravens were able to celebrate mental health awareness through their Morgan's Message Dedication game. Morgan's Message, a national non-profit organization dedicated to improving student-athlete mental health, has chapters across the country, including here at Franklin Pierce University. The Franklin Pierce Morgan's Message Club also had an information table at the entrance of Sodexo Field, spreading the organization's message to the fans watching the game.  

Up next on the Ravens' calendar are two trips to New Haven, Conn. First, the Ravens will pay a visit to the Southern Connecticut State Owls on Wednesday, September 18th. Face-Off will be at 4:00 pm.
