Rindge, N.H. (September 29) -- Juniors Sara Sterling (Mansfield, Mass.) and Stephanie Chaisson (Methuen, Mass.) each scored as the Hawks dropped an 8-2 final to Franklin Pierce on Wednesday night at Sodexho Field in non-conference field hockey action.

After a 3-0 halftime lead for the Ravens, Kayla Simeone pushed the lead to 4-0 just 1:51 into the second period. Sterling scored her second goal of the season at 40:54, followed by Chaisson's goal at the 50:11 mark to make it a 4-2 game with just under 20 minutes remaining. The Ravens had other ideas though as they scored four goals in a nine-minute span in the second half for the 8-2 final. Simeone finished the game with a career-best four-goal outing for Franklin Pierce.

Sophomore Megan Sullivan (Braintree, Mass.) made 17 saves in the loss, while Rachel Baxter made three saves in the victory.

Saint Anselm is now 0-6 overall, while the Ravens improve to 3-4 on the season. Saint Anselm is back in action on Saturday afternoon, hosting Southern Connecticut in a 2 p.m. start.
