PROVIDENCE, R.I. – Senior Kaitlyn Keon tied the game in the first period, and freshman Sam Donovan scored her first career goal, but Brown University women's hockey conceded a 5-2 decision to the Rochester Institute of Technology on Saturday afternoon at Meehan Auditorium.
The Tigers (5-2-1) defeated the Bears (0-2-0) for the second time after taking a 4-1 victory on Friday night.
Midway through the first period, senior Sarah Robson (Mississauga, Ontario) slid a pass from the top of the left faceoff circle to classmate Lauren Vella (Staten Island, N.Y.) at the top of the slot who sent the puck to the front of the net where Keon tipped it into the goal on the power play.
Keon's (Toronto, Ontario) first tally of the season knotted the score at 1-1 after Lauren Carroll scored for RIT two minutes earlier. The Tigers took a 2-1 lead with six seconds left in the first period on a power play strike from Kolbee McCrea.
On the contest's final goal, Keon won the puck along the left boards and sent it down the boards to senior Janice Yang (Westport, Conn.). Yang brought the puck from the left on a 2-on-1 and pushed a pass to Donovan (New Brighton, Minn.) who found the back of the net.
McCrea scored twice for RIT while Lindsay Grigg notched two assists. Carroll, Caitlin Wallace, and Vic Pitawanakwat each posted a single goal.
RIT posted built off its momentum from its late first period goal with three goals in the second frame. Wallace pushed the team's lead to 3-1 two minutes into the stanza.
The Tigers connected on goals 41 seconds apart late in the second period as McCrea scored 16:25 into the frame, and Pitawanakwat charted a goal at 17:06.
RIT goaltender Brook Stoddart made 13 saves to improve to 1-0-1. Brown sophomore Monica Elvin (Oakland, Calif.) did not allow a goal after coming on in the second period, making nine saves. Freshman Julianne Landry (Hanover, Mass.) contributed 17 saves in her first collegiate action.
Next, Brown remains at home to play Clarkson on Oct. 31 at 7 p.m. and St. Lawrence on Nov. 1 at 3 p.m.
