RINDGE, N.H. (10/17/2023) -- The Franklin Pierce men's soccer team put together a dominant team victory over Felician University on Tuesday evening, securing a 5-1 win in the non-conference matchup at Sodexo Field.  

With the win, the Ravens maintain a perfect record as they improve to 11-0-0 (7-0-0 NE-10) on the season. With the loss, the Golden Falcons move to 8-2-1 (5-0-0 CACC).  

The Ravens wasted no time in the first half, scoring just 15 minutes into the contest. Lucio Yahia (Buenos Aires, Argentina) fed a streaking Caleb Williams (Attleboro, Mass.), who fired a laser from 31 yards out and buried it in the top left corner, gifting the Ravens an early 1-0 lead.  

The Ravens didn't stop there, ending the first half on a high note. Aaron Sanchez (A Coruna, Spain) lofted a cross into the box for Younes Addar (Castellon, Spain), who set up Jerro Ferri (Valencia, Spain) for the finish, giving the Ravens a 2-0 lead at the 23^rd minute. 

Kicking off the second half, a last second attempt from Felician to stop a shot ended up putting the ball in the back of their own net. Aaron Sanchez pushed into the offensive zone and hit the ball across the goalie crease to Youness Addar. Felician defender Alvaro Martin Castedo threw his foot out, redirecting the ball that ended up hitting the left post and dribbled into the back of the net. With the goal, the Ravens went ahead 3-0 in the 48^th minute.

The Ravens added another highlight reel on the night, this time from Aitor Cuenca Retuerto (Bilbao, Spain). Younes Addar added his second assist of the match as he lifted a cross into the box for Aitor Cuenca Retuerto, who scored a miraculous goal on a volley driven into the ground and soaring over the keeper's head into the side netting, giving the Ravens a commanding 4-0 lead in the 69^th minute.  

The Falcons would find some silver lining in the 82^nd minute. Kosmo Novak netted a beautiful header after a corner kick from Alex Ramos for their lone goal of the match, making it a 4-1 Ravens lead.  

Antonio Limperia Lima (Lisbon, Portugal) would put the finishing touches on this match for the Ravens, extending their lead to 5-0 in the 85^th minute. Gabe Morales (West Palm Beach, Fla.) intercepted a pass from Falcons keeper Emanuele Moretti, then threaded a pass to a wide-open Antonio Limperia Lima for his first career assist in a Ravens uniform.  

Jett Barbic (Williston, Vermont) earned his first career win (1-0-0) in his first ever start for the Ravens, making 2 saves on 3 shots. Emanuele Moretti suffered the loss in net for the Falcons, turning aside 4-of-5 shots he faced.  

NEXT UP FOR THE RAVENS: The Ravens will travel to Worcester, Mass. for their next Northeast-10 match, taking on the Assumption Greyhounds on Friday (10/20) for a 7 p.m. kickoff.
