FRANKLIN, Ind. – The Franklin College women's soccer team looked to keep their winning streak alive on Saturday (Mar. 27) with a home match against the Anderson Ravens.

Sophomore Lilly Haines recorded her first career multi-goal game, providing all the offense as Franklin (4-2) blanked the Ravens (3-3) by a 2-0 count. 

How it Happened
Haines put the Grizzlies in front on the game's second shot, getting a foot on a ball that deflected off Mackenzie Wilhelm and hammering it into the cage in the 20th minute. That ended up being all the scoring in the opening half, with the two sides combining for just three shots on target.

After scoring a gritty goal to open the scoring, Haines put on a show with her 61st minute tally to give Franklin a two goal lead. She grabbed a pass from Hannah Warstler and faked out a couple Anderson defenders before firing a right-footed shot inside the left post.

Inside the Box Score
-Wilhelm and Warstler recorded their first career points on each of Haines' goals.
-Franklin recorded their third straight shutout with Brianna Rogers making three saves to earn her fourth clean sheet of the year. Franklin has not allowed a goal in each of their four wins and have recorded clean sheets in each of their last 11 dating back to 2019.
-The Grizzlies continued their dominance over Anderson, recording their ninth straight shutout of the Ravens. Franklin has won the last 11 matchups between the two and hasn't allowed a goal to Anderson since 2012.
