Franklin Pierce struck again less than 30 seconds later as Angelika Johansson scored her conference leading 23rd goal of the season when she took a through ball from Gabriela Demoner and dribbled twice before ripping a shot from the left side of the 18 the hit the far post before bouncing in.
The Skyhawks were still without a shot when the Ravens stretched their lead to 3 on a Johansson header off a Kelly Johnson cross in the 13th minute of play.

In the second, the Skyhawks held Franklin Pierce scoreless, only allowing them one shot on goal while forcing Ester to make four second period stops.
