Rosemont, Pa. – In the Ravens' final game of their 2015 season, Rosemont was hosting the Hood College Blazers for a non-conference game on a cool and windy late-April evening. The two teams tussled without much to decide between the two teams until Hood scored the winning goal in the final minute of the contest to win, 9-8. For the Ravens, the loss dropped their overall record to 4-10 for the season, while Hood, with one game remaining in their season, improved to 4-11 overall.
At the onset it looked like it might be a long night for Rosemont when Hood opened the scoring with a goal in the first 42 seconds followed by another goal just over one minute later to grab a 2-0 lead with only 1:47 elapsed in the game.
The Ravens answered quickly when Powell Davis scored off the draw control only nine seconds later to pull to within 2-1. Davis scored again to tie the score at 2-2 just 2:08 later. It was time to settle in for what would appear to be a close game the rest of the way.
The goals just kept on comin' early on in the half. Hood's Shay Brathwaite put the Blazers back up, 3-2, on a man-down goal, but Davis would nail her 3rd goal of the night to tie the score again, 3-3 with 21:38 left in the half. The defenses settled in a bit at this point and over nine minutes elapsed until Hood again took the lead, 4-3 with 12 ½ minutes left in the half.
Kerry Hars would tie the score again with a goal 54 seconds later, and Powell Davis would score her 4th of the night 43 seconds later to give the Ravens their first and only lead of the evening, 5-4 with 10:53 on the clock. The Blazers would post another score on the board with 6:41 left in the half and the teams would go scoreless the rest of the half, going into the break tied 5-5.
The defenses got tighter in the second half, but Hood opened the half with their second, third, and fourth straight goals to take an 8-5 lead with 18:18 left in the game. Trailing by three, the Ravens regrouped and got goals from Jennifer South, Powell Davis, and Kerry Hars to again tie the score, 8-8 with 6:35 left.
It was clear that the next goal would be key, and it was. It took 5:41 for the next goal to be posted, but unfortunately for the Ravens, it came off the stick of Hood's Jade Locklear to give the visitors a 9-8 lead with 54 seconds left in the contest. Hood won the key draw control following the goal and was able to run out the clock to seal the win.
