HEAR FROM COACH NIKOLIC
"We faced a quality opponent tonight who forced us to be better," head coach Brittany Nikolic said. "Our second half was much improved and I look forward to seeing us come out with that same hunger on Saturday."
 
"How we respond to a setback will determine a lot about what we can accomplish this season," Nikolic added.

Franklin Pierce 3, Parkside 0

HOW IT HAPPENED

Goalkeeper Lara Ferrari held off the Ravens until the 38^th minute in the first half when they scored for the second time to make it 2-0. The Ravens added one final goal in the 89^th minute to end the game 3-0.
