On the other side of halftime, AIC evened things up in the 57^th minute. Junior Josefine Stendahl stood over a free kick 25 yards from goal and blasted it into the top-left corner, out of the reach of Franklin Pierce freshman keeper Kasey Donnelly (New Milford, Conn.).

The Ravens reclaimed the lead in the 74^th minute, as Goodman tallied her first multiple-goal game at the collegiate level. Taking a corner kick from the left side, she was able to curl the ball all the way into the far side of the net, over the leap of AIC sophomore keeper Olivia Sousa. The goal would stand as the game-winner, after the remainder of the contest went without further scoring.
