HONORABLE MENTION

Pat Shortt (Ice Hockey): Shortt had a goal and an assist in Saturday's 2-1 win versus Assumption, which enabled the Ravens to clinch a home playoff game in the upcoming Northeast-10 playoffs.

Lauren Miller, Katie Jackson (Volleyball) & Amanda Panaro (Women's Soccer): The three student-athletes took time out of their hectic schedules on Saturday to help raise money for Franklin Pierce Athletics' Breast Cancer Awareness Day during the men's and women's basketball doubleheader. Members of the ice hockey team also helped to raise money for the event during the hockey's game against Assumption. A big thanks to all the student-athletes for their support of this worthy cause.
