Columbia (5-2, 1-0 Ivy League) scored the game's first goal at 44:35 with a tip-in from Whitney Hartstone off of a penalty corner. Soon after (45:12), the Lions increased their lead to 2-0 with a long shot from Anna Scipioni that slipped by freshman goalkeeper Katie Hammaker (Ephrata, Pa.).

The Bears (3-5, 0-1 Ivy League) had two chances towards the end of the second half with two penalty corners.

For the contest, Hammaker made a total of seven saves while Piannucci registered four. Angus and senior Anna Masini (Ann Arbor, Mich.) each tallied a defensive save for Brown.
