HOW IT HAPPENED
  • Franklin Pierce tested the Mountain Lions defense early, peppering four shots in the opening minutes Wednesday afternoon before landing one in goal four minutes later.  Annalise Carr found Julia Patrick on the right side of the net for the equalizer at 8:33.  UCCS snagged their first lead of the season after Kyer Frederick drove in from the center top for a 2-1 UCCS lead.  Thirty seconds later Peyton Ross swung around from the left side to give the Mountain Lions a two-goal lead, 3-1.
  • FPU called a timeout after Ross' goal and the Mountain Lions fired off three shot attempts while not allowing the Ravens to take a shot, but a clock violation by UCCS put the ball back in the Ravens control, leading to a goal with 2:42 left in the first quarter.  With just seven ticks left int opening stanza, FPU converted on a free position attempt to knot the game at 3-3, but they weren't done yet as they were able to sneak one more goal into the net as time expired.
  • Down 5-3 in the opening minutes of the second quarter, Carr connected with Patrick for the second time of the afternoon as Patrick was in front of the goal to receive Carr's pass and swung left for UCCS' fourth score of the day.  Following FPU's seventh goal of the half, Sydnee-Anne Moeller won the draw control as the Mountain Lions worked the ball around the 12-meter arc before Brielle Fannin took a low shot from the right side to cut into FPU's lead, 7-5.  The Ravens tacked on two more goals before the half ended, taking a 9-5 lead at halftime.
  • UCCS came out swinging in the second half, outscoring the home team, 4-1, in the third quarter.  Patrick netted back-to-back goals in less than a minute, bringing UCCS with two goals, 9-7, just over three minutes into the half.  Kendra Knutson picked up a ground ball on the Ravens end of the field which UCCS successfully cleared that eventually led to a free position goal for Brennan Kelly.
  • The Ravens opened the fourth quarter leading 10-9 and put pressure on the Mountain Lions, outshooting UCCS in the final stanza, 16-3, and slicing in five goals to UCCS' one score.
