Weekly Notes:

FRANKLIN PIERCE: Clinched its program-record third straight Northeast-10 Regular Season Championship last week and completed just its third unbeaten conference regular season in program history with its 11-0-2 clip. The Ravens last went unbeaten in conference play in 1995 when they ran through the New England Collegiate Conference campaign with a 9-0-1 mark. Franklin Pierce is unbeaten over its last 26 regular season NE-10 matches at home dating back to October 2003, posting a 24-0-2 mark in that time. Senior All-American James Thorpe broke the NCAA Division II career minutes played record for goalkeepers in the first half of Wednesday’s 0-0 draw with Southern Connecticut. Thorpe has now played 7,736:55 over four seasons for the Ravens, surpassing the previous record of 7,580 minutes by former Southern Connecticut All-American Bo Oshoniyi (1990-93). Thorpe notched his 46th career shutout on Saturday to move into a tie for second in NCAA Division II history.
