Manchester, N.H. (September 10) -- Emily Morrissey scored just 46 seconds into the extra period as Franklin Pierce defeated Saint Anselm by a 2-1 final in Northeast-10 field hockey play on Wednesday afternoon.

Both teams played over 60 minutes of scoreless field hockey before Nicole Henrique struck at the 61:12 mark on a play assisted by Jordan Baillargeon. The Hawks answered back quickly though just 49 seconds later as Laura Urko (Attleboro, Mass.) knocked in a rebound for her third goal of the season.

It took just one shot in the overtime period as Morrissey knocked it past Saint Anselm goalie Riley Haddock (Falmouth, Maine) for the game-winning score.

Haddock turned seven shots in the loss, while NE-10 Freshman of the Week Kristin Tormollan made two saves in the win.

Saint Anselm is back in action on Saturday afternoon as the Hawks travel to American International for a 5 p.m. start. That game will take place at Elms College.
