With the season on the line, the Franklin Pierce University men’s ice hockey team put 43 shots on net on Saturday night, but was held without a goal for 58:53 at Foxboro Sports Center, as the Ravens struggled to solve Stonehill sophomore goaltender William Palmer. Meanwhile, Stonehill got first-period goals from freshman forwards Conor Cassidy and Connor Jewett and never looked back on the way to a 3-1 win in Northeast-10 Conference play.
With the loss, Franklin Pierce falls to 7-13-1 (2-7-0 NE10). The loss eliminated Franklin Pierce from postseason contention.
The Ravens return to the ice on Wednesday, Feb. 1, when they travel to Post for a non-conference contest. Opening faceoff is set for 7:30 p.m. at Sports Center of Connecticut in Shelton, Conn.
