Rindge, N.H. – No. 14 ranked Bentley University improved to 3-1 on the season with an 11-9 win on the road over Franklin Pierce on Wednesday night.

Graduate student goalie Eliza Bresler (Newton, Mass./Newton North) made 13 saves to earn the win, the 25^th of her career.

Senior Cara McCarthy (Salem, N.H./Central Catholic) led a balanced offensive attack with three goals. Julia Glavin (Ipswich, Mass./Ipswich) with two goals was the only other player with multiple goals. The other goals came from six different players.

Glavin notched her 120^th career goal on the night, which moved her into a tie for 8^th all-time in Bentley's history.

Bentley led 6-5 at halftime and then scored four of the first five goals of the 2^nd half, over a span of 12-plus minutes. Junior Christine Fish (Slingerlands, N.Y./Guilderland) and McCarthy scored quickly out of the gate in the first two-plus minutes of the half to give their team an 8-5 lead.

The Falcons defense, meanwhile, locked down the Franklin Pierce attack. The Ravens managed just seven shots through the first 17-plus minutes of the half, with six of those shots saved by Bresler.

Goals by Bentley's Kenzie Lupton (Canandaigua, N.Y./Canandaigua) at the 19:15 mark and Stephanie McAuliffe (Natick, Mass./Natick) at the 17:39 mark expanded the lead to 10-6.

Franklin Pierce did make a run with three unanswered goals to get to within 10-9 with 7:21 remaining.

But the Ravens got off just two shots the rest of the game. And a goal by Glavin with 3:05 remaining sealed the victory for the Falcons.

With the win, Bentley improved its record to 3-1 overall and 2-1 NE10. Their next scheduled game is on April 7 at Stonehill.
