The Red Flash and FDU were involved in a 90 minute battle as both teams saw opportunities throughout, but ultimately both teams couldn't get a deciding goal as the match ended in a 1-1 tie. Miko scored the lone Saint Francis goal almost immediately after the second half began during a free kick opportunity that she buried in the top right corner of the net. Sarah McConnon recorded two saves in net for the Red Flash as she and the rest of the Saint Francis defense played their part in helping keep the Knights offense at bay. 

WORD ON HOWARD
The Bison come into Thursday's matchup with a 0-7-1 record overall and have played two conference matches against FDU and Merrimack which both resulted in losses. Howard is led on offense by Melea Earley who leads the team in goals with three and points as she has seven on the season. In net, Howard is guided by Kennedy Jones who has started every match during the season and  has recorded 46 saves and 17 goals allowed.
