Weekly Notes:

FRANKLIN PIERCE: Franklin Pierce, ranked No. 2 in the NSCAA/adidas Division II preseason poll, saw its shutout minutes halted at 864:26 after conceding a late penalty kick in its season-opening win over Holy Family. The Ravens had closed out the 2007 season with eight-straight shutouts (all in postseason play). Sophomore All-American Angelika Johansson (Falkenberg, Sweden), who missed the entire 2007 postseason due to injury, returned to the Ravens lineup in style by breaking a program record and matching another in the win. She scored two goals in a 32-second span within the 71st minute to break the record of 36-seconds set by Franklin Pierce Hall of Famer Pauliina Miettinen against UMass Lowell in 1995. The two Johansson markers capped a program record matching five-goal outburst for the 2007 NE-10 Freshman of the Year, becoming the sixth Raven in program history to accomplish the feat.
