The midfielder scored either side of Evie Priestley’s equaliser at Wellbeing Park, maintaining the Clarets’ place at the top of the Northern Premier Division of the Women’s National League.
There was one change to the team that started Wednesday night’s dramatic late victory over Liverpool Feds, with club captain Tilly Wilkes replacing Thea Paul at left wing-back.
Louise McDaniel returned to the bench following her time away with Northern Ireland, and she was alongside Aimee Kelly and Brooke Cairns who provided the attacking options.
Kirstie Levell was called into action after just 40 seconds, but it was a comfortable save from Emelia Wilson’s long-range strike.
Burnley’s first effort of note came after good footwork from Charlie Chadwick, but the striker’s effort hit the outside of the left post.
Much of the match was being played in the middle of the pitch, with niggly fouls and injury stoppages affecting the flow.
Ravening looked threatening every time she received the ball and after firing narrowly wide from range and hitting the bar with a header, the number 10 opened the scoring in the 34th minute.
Yana Daniëls was fouled 20 yards from goal and Ravening’s free-kick had too much power for Stoke ‘keeper Harriet Grimshaw, who could only push it further towards the top left corner and in.
Stoke kept battling, causing Millie Chandarana and Jasmine Matthews to both go into the referee’s notebook before half-time, but the Clarets took a one-goal lead into the break.
Lou Roberts’ side returned from the dressing rooms the better of the two sides but Stoke responded on the hour mark when Dom Cooper tested Levell from range.
Walker came inches away from doubling the lead straight up the other end, though, but after great play to roll her defender, her shot was just wide of the left-hand post.
Lou Roberts’ first two changes saw Wilkes and Chadwick make way for Paul and Kelly but it was 1-1 in the 71st minute when Priestley swivelled and beat the back peddling Levell from 30 yards.
Burnley’s never-say-die attitude ensured parity lasted just nine minutes, though, and as it has been so many times this season, it was a set piece that caused the damage.
Paul’s whipped corner was fumbled by Grimshaw and after a defender got a touch, Ravening was in the right place at the right time to nod in from four yards.
Two more changes saw Matthews and Daniëls make way for Naomi Hartley and McDaniel, and Jade Richards replaced Chandarana to add defensive solidity as we entered stoppage time.
Stoke tried their best to push forwards in the closing stages but were unable to get a shot off, with Burnley claiming three more vital league points.
The tally for the campaign now stands at 23 from a possible 27 and the team now turn their attention to the FA Women’s National League Cup and Real Bedford next weekend.
