The Lead: Assumption jumped out to a 1-0 lead in the 26 minutes, but Franklin Pierce responded late in the second half to force overtime and an eventual two-overtime draw on Saturday evening.

HOW IT HAPPENED:

- The Hounds recorded their first corner kick three minutes into the contest and put pressure on the Ravens early before breaking through in the 26th minute on a goal by Alexis Stowell (Franklin, Mass. / Franklin). Kelsey Pietruska (Durham, Conn. / Mercy) sent in a corner kick and Stowell put finishing touches on it for her first career goal.

- Assumption finished the half with an 8-4 shot edge, but Franklin Pierce came out firing in the second half. The Ravens eventually netted the equalizer in the 80th minute on a set piece. Nathalia da Silva set in a ball on a free kick from 30 yards out and Sophie Cousineau headed it into the back of the net.

- The Hounds nearly stole the victory in the final three minutes, as Amanda Arnold (Saco, Maine / Thornton Academy) had a shot that was saved and then Franklin Pierce recorded a defensive save on another Arnold shot with just 47 seconds left.

- In the first overtime, Franklin Pierce got off two shots but couldn't convert. Assumption nearly won again in the second overtime as Jessica FitzGerald (Uxbridge, Mass. / Uxbridge) had a header off a Pietruska corner hit the post.

INSIDE THE NUMBERS:

- The Hounds and Ravens each had five corners in the contest, while Franklin Pierce did outshoot Assumption 16-14.
