LAST TIME OUT
Senior Kaitlyn Keon and junior Kelly Micholson each scored as part of a third-period rally, but Brown fell at the University of Connecticut, 4-2, at the Freitas Ice Forum on Tuesday night.
The Bears notched the third period's first two goals to pull within 3-2, but the host Huskies netted a goal later in the frame and held on for the win.
Keon (Toronto, Ontario) recorded the Bears' first goal of the game 27 seconds into the third on a penalty shot after Connecticut's Sarah MacDonnell picked up a penalty for interference. The goal marked Keon's second of the season and the eighth of her career.
Micholson (Elk Grove Village, Ill.) brought the Bears within one goal at 3-2 as she registered a goal off an assist from sophomore Maddie Woo (Plymouth, Minn.) at the 5:16 mark of the third frame for her first strike of the season and the third of her career.
