Box Score

PROVIDENCE, R.I. – With the game tied at 1-1 with two minutes remaining in regulation, senior Alexis Miller (Caldwell, N.J.) drove strong into the arc and buried the game-winning goal at 68:34 to lead Brown field hockey over Georgetown, 2-1, in a non-conference match-up on Sunday at Goldberger Field. The Bears move to .500 with the win and stand at 5-5 while Georgetown slips to 5-6.

"Today was a hard fought match," said Brown head coach Jill Reeve. "Playing back-to-back games is a tough ask and our kids stuck together and finished the opportunities they had."

Brown got on the board first, early in the opening half at 6:29, when senior Anna Masini (Ann Arbor, Mich.) received a feed from senior Hannah Rogers (Los Altos, Calif.) in front of the goal and notched her first tally of the season. Senior Emily Arciero (Avon, Conn.) played a strong role in the goal as she passed it to Rogers who then gave it to Masini.

Georgetown tied the game shortly into the second half at 38:24 when Helena Masiello scored with Megan Parsons gathering the assist.

Freshman Katie Hammaker (Ephrata, Pa.) made five of her seven saves in the second half to keep the Bears in the game before Miller's game-winning tally (68:34).

Rachel Skonecki of Georgetown made two saves in the contest.

The Hoyas held the lead in shots (12-9) and corners (9-3) in the game.

Next up, the Bears travel to Ivy League foe Harvard for their third conference game of the season on Saturday, Oct. 10. The match-up is slated to start at 1:00 p.m.
