Recap by student-staff writer Colin Struckman

SHELTON, Conn. (1/16/25) – Despite a late 3rd period rally from the Franklin Pierce Ravens women's ice hockey team, they couldn't overcome the 3-0 deficit and dropped a road affair to the Post Eagles on Thursday afternoon in NEWHA action.

Score: Post 3, Franklin Pierce 2
Records: Franklin Pierce (11-9-0, 11-7-0 NEWHA), Post (6-15-3, 6-9-3 NEWHA)
Location: Shelton, Conn.
Date: Thursday, January 16, 2024

HOW IT HAPPENED:

  • The Eagles opened the flood gates in the first period. Julia Wysocki started the scoring just 17 seconds into the frame to take the 1-0 lead. Then, they struck again at the end of the period. Julia Wysocki added her 2nd goal with just 1:29 left, giving them the 2-0 lead heading into the first intermission.
  • The second period also didn't treat the Ravens kindly. Noa Farberman capitalized on the power play 5:19 into the stanza. The Eagles carried the 3-0 lead into the second intermission.
  • The Ravens showed signs of life to begin the third period. Senior forward Mikayla Kelley (Eagan, Minn.) fed a pass from the corner to sophomore defenseman Courtney Swenson (Bolingbrook, Ill.) at the point. She fired a wrister on net that created a rebound in front and sophomore forward Emma Laroche (Highgate, Vt.) whacked it in the back of the cage, cutting the deficit to 3-1.
  • The Ravens wouldn't stop there, striking again late in the period with just 59 seconds remaining. Junior forward McKenzie Rich (Rochester, Minn.) corralled a loose puck in the slot and buried a wrister in the left corner to make it 3-2 Eagles. Despite the late push from the Ravens, it wasn't enough as they fell short to the Eagles.

BREAKING DOWN THE NUMBERS:

  • The Ravens outshot the Eagles 28-23.
  • The Ravens went 0-3 on the power play. The Eagles went 1-2.
  • Junior netminder Jill Hertl (Highland Park, Ill.) suffered the loss in net for the Ravens, making 20 saves on 23 shots she faced.

NEXT UP FOR THE RAVENS: The Ravens return home next Friday night (1/24) to square off against their inter-state rival Saint Anselm at the Jason Ritchie Ice Arena. Puck drop is at 7 p.m.
