16:35 2nd Half – Bentley forces an early timeout after two consecutive three point plays 51 – 25 Bently

Second half underway

Halftime – Bentley running away with it at half 43-22….A lot of work for the Ravens to do in the second half

7:29 1st Half – Ravens need a timeout to re-group down 28-16 now

10:15 1st Half – Ravens down 20 – 14

14:57 1st Half  -  Ravens down 11-4 early

Men’s Bball vs Bentley next, we’ll keep you posted on that game

Marielle Giroud led all scorers with 35 pts! And added 13 reb. 35 POINTS! Jewel White also racked up 26 pts and 20 reb. Monster afternoons for those ladies, as FP beats the NE-10s best.

Jacqui Brugliera led Bentley with 32 pts and 13 reb. I didn’t think anyone would outscore her going into the second half, but…

Wow what a finish! FP defeats their rival Bentley, the only team in front of them in the standings, 90-87 in OT! It must be February at the Fieldhouse! Marielle Giroud with 35 big points!! Unreal game

FP WINS

Great D by White, FP ball, fouled, 2 shots to seal a W

17.4 sec left. Bentley ball

Gets em both! 2 pt lead for FP

20 sec left! White gets the reb. Gets fouled, 2 shots for the lead!

Bentley ties it at 87 and force a jump ball, getting possession right back.

White 3 point play! FP up by 2

85-84 Bentley with 1:30 left in OT. Terrible call by the ref gave Bentley 2 free throws to take the lead. For FP, after a bad missed 3 by MacDonald, everyone seems afraid to shoot, except Giroud with 34 points! Shes poised

5 min OT period is underway

MacDonald’s runner just misses, we’re headed to Overtime. What a game. 78-78

WHAT ! Bentley with a roller in. Tie game! FP ball. 4 seconds coming out of the time out! Its win time

She makes 1. Time out Bentley, 10 sec. 78-76 FP

1 pt game. 20 sec left. Bentley has to foul. MacDonald to the line shooting 2

2 pt game

1:27 76-72 FP. Bentley is hanging in there. FP needs to stay with Giroud and the hot hand. She has 31 points! White with 19 pt 16 reb! Wowzers

2:35 Jewel White 3 point play. 3 the other way for Bentley, 6 pt lead FP

3:05 “Marielle Giroud is an inferno!” 3 by her, 73-67 FP. Turn over Bentley

3:57 Bentley seems to be only looking for 3s and they’ve gone cold. Over the back foul against Bentley, FP to the line shooting 1-and-1s the rest of the way

5:02 Its the Marielle Giroud show! 28 points, FP by 3

5:33 Rebound White, Saab 3! Plus the foul. FP Takes the lead on the 4 point play! Giroud the assist! Time out Benltey. 68-67

6:06 Giroud again with a layup, then a block the other way, and she takes it the length of the court, fouled for 2 free throws! She gets both, the lead is only 3!

6:56 Marielle Giroud for 3! “Giroud with the game of her season!”

8:00 FP cuts it to 6 on two Saab freethrows

We should explain that currently, Bentley is in first place in the NE-10. FP is tied for second, technically in second because they own the tiebreaker. But this game and the final regular season game coming up on Wednesday could flip-flop the top two spots

FP is missing that defensive intensity they had in the first half. The offense is coming back slowly, but its back and forth back and forth. Time out Bentley

10:32 That being said, Bentley is up by 10. Better 2nd half for them

May I just say that these teams are good. This game is a treat. Two teams that hate each other and both brought their A games today. What a match up

Time out FP

13:00 Bentley with an open 3 pointer. Up by 9

RSN Broadcaster Joe Landini: “FP has lost all offensive flow here in the 2nd half.” Bentley up by 6

16:04 Bentley takes their first lead. 48-45, time out FP

Hot start for Bentley. Tie game at 43-43

Getting ready to start the 2nd half. Jewel White already with a double-double!

Halftime. 41-36 FP. Bentley ends on a 4-0 run. Great defense by FP in the first half and hot shooting to start give them a good cushion at half against the No. 17 team in the nation.

1:02 6-0 run by FP out of the time out. Good hoop by Jewell White, and the foul! To the line for a 3 point play! 41-32

3:22 Bentley climbing back, FP cooling off, trying too many 3s. 3 pointer good for Bentley’s leader Kim Brennan, 34-32 FP. Where’d that lead go? Time out FP

6:40 Cowen draws a charge as Bentley was deep in the shot clock. Great defense by FP on that possession!

7:54 Bentley cuts it to a 10 point lead, time out FP

10:17 Bentley out of the time out scores a quick 2 and gets into a full court press

Marielle Giroud is leading FP in scoring so far with 7 points

11:01 Wow! 3! Brittany Martelle just into the game and she gives FP a 14 pt lead. Time out Bentley

11:40 3! Amanda Saab! Ravens up 10

12:27 3 by Marielle Giroud! Ravens up by 11. I hope they maintain this inspired effort for the rest of the season

13:59 Awesome! Jumper by FP’s Kate MacDonald. 4 straight points for the Ravens. 14-6! Time out Bentley

15:37 Very fast start! FP comes out on fire. up 9-4 on great shooting

Ravens Sports Network is here at the Fieldhouse! Lots of energy in the gym today. Big match up for both sides in the great rivalry between FP and Bentley. Playoff implications on the line in the Women’s game

Ice Hockey vs Assumption

Thats all tonight from Winchedon! Ravens win. RSN Thanks you for following us all day. Have a great night and enjoy my birthday tomorrow! Stay tuned for more Ravens Sports action next weekend, as rival Bentley comes to town for Men’s and Women’s hoops. Go Ravens!

Assumption won the shots that period 8-6.

Ravens clear the zone, and the Ravens win! They clinch a home postseason game

Final 26 seconds…

Daylight top left corner but Assumption misses wide left. Time out Greyhounds. Will the Ravens hang on?

One minute remaining, Ravens under heavy fire

15:10 Assumption penalty, 2 min for slashing. Not much else going on in the 3rd. Still 2-1 Ravens

Another big hit to our right. They’ve raised the stakes in the 3rd.

Huge hit on the boards just to the left of us!

3rd period is underway!

I’ve just learned a win tonight clinches that coveted home playoff game for the Ravens

Now playing at the Jason Ritchie Ice Arena: Owl City, Fireflies. Its intermission

End of the 2nd period, FP on top 2-1. Shots that period 11-9 Assumption

Oooooonnnnnnnnnnnnne minute to play in the period

17:44 Assumption goal, #11 Taylor Larsen. Powerplay goal resulting in a FP Interference penalty just moments before.

6:39 Puck came right over to us, I wanted to make the play but theres this plexiglass stuff in the way

9:37 2 min minor penalty on FP, slashing. But hey, they’re up 2-0

13:43 (I messed up the time) Patrick Shortt gets more points tonight with his 7th goal of the season. And more points for Roscoe Sweeney, who got the assist

13:43 Ravens breakaway, Ravens goal! 2-0 good guys

2:39 Roscoe Sweeney nets his team leading 15th goal of the season! Assists to 41 Patrick Shortt & 24 Bryan Colella

2:39 Ravens goal!

2nd period is underway. Lets hope for more scoring

As “Hells Bells” sounds, the Ravens skate back onto the ice

The house is rockin’ during the first intermission!

No pink jerseys for the Ice Ravens though. Just some pink laces and stick tape. Assumption is in on that too.

Just like this afternoon in the Fieldhouse, its Breast Cancer Awareness Night here at the Jason Ritchie Ice Arena. Leslie Heartwell, a survivor of breast cancer from the Norris Cotton Cancer Center in Keene dropped the ceremonial first puck tonight. Donations are also being collected for the Cancer Center

Following tonight’s game the two teams will turn around and face each other again Wednesday night at Assumption. The Ravens have a great chance to secure a home playoff game over the next week, as Assumption is just ahead of Franklin Pierce in 2nd place in the NE-10

Checking over game notes: this is the second time the Ravens have hosted Assumption this season. The Ravens won the first match up on Dec 4 by a score of 7-4.

Dead even at 13 shots for each side in that period

End of the first period, scoreless between the Ravens and the Greyhounds

2:32 Coming down to the end of the 1st period, big hit right on the other side of the glass in front of this laptop. No score, just a penalty a piece now.

But you may have seen my piece in the latest Pierce Arrow about the Hockey Team enjoying the home cooking and vying for a home playoff game.

Meanwhile, here at Ice Hockey I’m in the box with fellow RSN’ers and tonight’s game staff Daryl Jeannetti and Rich Raymond, and Assistant Director of Athletic Communications Matt Janik. Lots of hockey knowledge here, none of it belonging to me.

Great upset by Men’s Basketball defeating St Anselm earlier today! Unfortunately, Women’s Basketball was upset. The ol’ switcharoo

Oh, by the way, this is PMG Sports Director Casey Williams again. PMG Sports Day concludes with this hockey game. Its been a great success. Worked some things out with our tricaster broadcast.

Still scoreless here 10 minutes into the first period. Not much to report. 1 penalty total and it went against FP for holding.

Senior Night festivities are in the books for our 4 Ravens seniors. Nice moments with family and select professors.

Hey Fans! We’re over here in Winchedon, Mass. now for Ice Hockey vs Assumption. Sorry we had to scrap that live broadcast, our media team is running low.

Men’s Basketball vs St A’s

Thanks for tuning in to the live blog! Catch more action right here during the Hockey game tonight at 7! Also live on Franklin Pierce Radio and the athletics website

Only 3 more games, 2 to win to avoid the dreaded history-maker (least amount of wins)

FP wins, FP wins! Manchester nails the “F U” shot at the buzzer, LeBron style. They beat the #2 team in the Region!

57.8 sec 81-67 FP leads. Now is the time the game slows down as St As looks to foul and try to climb back. We’re walking to the foul line each time FP gets the ball

1:05 Injured St As player on the floor. Inadvertantly struck in the face. Trainer is looking at his jaw as he walks off

Berube: “Lots of smiles on the Ravens faces right now, something we’re not accustom to seeing this season”

1:42 Great work by FP on defense causing turnovers and quick scores. FP up by 11. “Weren’t they down by 10 multiple times in this game”

2:11 Dozier missed another free throw. Thats back to back games with 2 misses from the stripe for the senior captain who had a near-perfect rate at the line

2:48 Jeff “from downtown” Manchester a deeeep 3 with 1 on the shot clock. 8 pt lead. Block on the defensive end

3:29 Offensive foul against ST As! Damola ABU with the bucket, FP up by 5. Berube: “Thats how you use the full shot clock and still score. No more empty possessions for FP”

4:51 Dozier hits a 3! 3 pt lead for FP. First in 10 min

6:00 Tie game! Tie game!  Jean-Guillaume pushes the break for a lead, out of controll out of bounds. Some contact. Good no call.

8:13 Jean-Guillaume with a deep 3! 11-2 run, 2 pt game! RSN Broadcaster AJ Berube: “Crowd liked that one!”

8:51 Blackwood hits another 3 and causes a steal, feeds ahead to Jean-Guillaume. Good hoop and the foul! Converts the 3 point play. 9-0 run, 3 pt game

9:40 Dozier throws up the alley. Jean-Guillaume not there for the Oop. oops

11:46 The two teams trade 3 pointers. Andre Blackwood hit ours. Great ball movement

12:46 Ravens fall down by 11. Time out

Back to an earlier point about Big Shot Van Oostrum, as a redshirt freshman last year, he hit a full court shot to win the intramural basketball championship.

13:48 He missed the 2nd shot. Thats my fault entirely.

13:48 Dozier at the line shooting 2. Hes in the top 10 in the nation amoung free throw %

15:03 And they get a 3 to bounce in high off the front rim. 8-0 run, time out FP

15:34 St As on a run, up 5 again

18:20 Second half underway. FP up by 1!

8 sec FP turnover, St As layup to end the half. 6 pt lead for the Hawks at Halftime

45 sec Manchester hits a 3! FP within 4. Missed shot St As, FP holding for final shot

1:33 Van Oostrum with a 3 to beat the buzzer! I know from experience that man has a knack for big shots

2:09 BANG! St As 3 and they go up by 10 just like that. Time out FP

3:03 Big basket and the foul! St As coverts the 3 pt play. Up by 5

4:03  Back and forth now, St As back on top. Overheard in Athletics: “Surprised we’re hanging with this team..” – St A’s ranked 2nd in the REGION! FP last in the conference.

7:17 Back to back 3s put FP up by 1! Time out St As. Momentum swing!

9:50 Good drive by Van Oostrum and an off-balance bucket puts them within 4!

10:09 Not the response FP was hoping for. Still within 6

13:54 FP’s gonna use a quick time out. 4-0 run by St As and poor shooting the last possession. Selfish play

15:30 Sweet up and under by Jean-Guillaume!

18:00 We’re underway Ravens down by 1

And the Ravens are 0-4 this season against the teams remaining on their schedule

Its unfortunate but the Men must win 3 of 4 remaining games to avoid the worst record in DII program history (8 wins)

Maybe you’ve seen my article in the Exchange this week about Men’s Basketball on the ropes for worst record in program history

For those just joining, this is PMG Sports Director Casey Williams courtside at the Fieldhouse today

Men’s Basketball is up next, T-minus 5 min

Marielle Giroud led the team with 14 rebounds

Jewel White led FP in scoring with 17 pts

But perhaps the team just needs a bump on the head. They’ll have a long postseason run coming up, one loss could help them refocus and pull together

FINAL FP loses by 4. Overheard in Athletics: “Never in a million years did I think we would lose to this team.”

4:34 We’ve had some technical difficulties but we’re back online and on FPTV. Word is you can see the game off campus now too! But, we’re getting beaten pretty good

19:00 Jewel White opens up the 2nd half scoring. FP ran layup drills during the break

HALFTIME St As with a surprising 5 pt lead. Ravens with some work to do

1:59 3 by Martelle pulls FP within 5. Time out St As

5:00 St A’s on a run, up by 6. Time out Ravens

Interesting point from our broadcast team on the sub for Martelle after she missed her first shot. Disagreeing with Coach, she needs to keep shooting. Time out on the floor

8:05 And again! Great pass inside

8:40 Jewel White so agile down in the post, ties the game at 14

 11:00 3! Amanda Saab ties the game at 11

19:44 We’re underway! FP on the board first!

If you’re tuning in at home, Franklin Pierce is wearing their new Pink jerseys for Breast Cancer Awareness Day!

Hello Fans!  This is PMG Sports Director Casey Williams, sitting courtside at Women’s game!
