RINDGE, N.H. (September 20, 2000) - Andrea Caesar (Visby, Sweden) and Minna Mustonen (Helsinki, Finland) had two goals and an assist each Wednesday as the defending NCAA Division II champion Franklin Pierce University
women's soccer team beat St. Anselm, 6-0,in a Northeast-10 Conference match.

The Ravens (4-0, 2-0 NE-10) are ranked first nationally and have not yielded a goal in four matches. They have outscored their opponents by a 32-0 margin.

Nicole Cheadle (West Chester, Pa.) scored the game-winner for the Ravens in the 31st minute when she headed in a crossing pass from Jenny Petronis (Burnt Hills, N.Y.). Caesar made it 2-0 just 38 seconds before the half when she beat the St. Anselm defense to a loose ball in front of the goal.

The Ravens broke the game open scoring twice in a four-minute span in the opening 10 minutes of the second half. Caesar got the first in the 50th minute, heading in a corner kick by Petronis, and Mustonen got the second on a header off a Caesar cross.

First-year sophomore Jantine Slootweg (Valkenburg, Holland) got her first collegiate goal in the 66th minute, while Mustonen scored her team-high seventh goal just 55 seconds later on a great individual effort as she was being pulled down in the 18-yard box.

Mustonen now has seven goals and 19 points and has moved up to fifth on the FP
all-time scoring list with 53 goals and 130 points in less than three years.

St. Anselm (1-4, 1-4 NE-10) did not get its first shot until 27 minutes had elapsed. The Ravens held considerable edges in shots (32-4) and corner kicks (16-0).

Kim Higgins (Rochester, N.Y.) needed to make just two saves to record her second shutout of the season.
