#1 Franklin Pierce Edges Pace, 1-0
Hughes’ second-half goal lifts Ravens to victory

BRIARCLIFF, N.Y. (October 2, 2004) – Franklin Pierce, ranked No. 1 in this week’s National Soccer Coaches Association of America (NSCAA)/adidas Division II poll, rebounded from a tough loss just two days ago and grinded out a 1-0 victory at Pace University in Northeast-10 Conference action this afternoon.

            Junior midfielder Sonya Hughes (Balbriggan, Ireland) scored the lone goal of the match in the 64th minute off a feed from freshman Jenna Giardina (Pittsfield, Mass./Taconic) to lift Franklin Pierce to victory.

            Sophomore goalkeeper Linnea Authier (East Longmeadow, Mass./East Longmeadow) made two saves for the Ravens to preserve her second shutout of the season and fourth of her career – which ranks tenth in program history.

            Pace sophomore Jocelyne Durando (Monroe, N.Y./Monroe-Woodbury) kept the Setters in the match with six saves. The Ravens out-shot the Setters 11-8 for the match.

            Franklin Pierce (8-1, 6-1 NE-10) returns to action Wednesday when it hosts Bryant College in a key Conference match at 3:30 p.m. Pace (4-5-1, 3-3-1 NE-10) hosts UMass Lowell on Wednesday at 3:30 p.m.
