PROVIDENCE, R.I. – The Brown women's lacrosse team was defeated by Cornell, 10-2, in conference action on Saturday afternoon at Stevenson-Pincince Field. Sophomore Rose Mangiarotti (Locust Valley, N.Y.) and freshman Hafsa Moinuddin (Chesire, Conn.) registered goals for Brown in the contest.
Cornell (7-0, 3-0 Ivy League) opened the game with back-to-back goals at 26:46 (Olivia Mattyasovszky) and 26:25 (Emily Tripodi) before the Bears got on the board at 25:41 with an unassisted score from Mangiarotti, her 10th goal of the season, to bring Brown (4-4, 0-3 Ivy League) within one (2-1). The Big Red then responded with four-straight goals to carry a 6-1 advantage into the break.
The Big Red went on another scoring run with three-straight to begin the second half for a 9-1 lead, with Mattyasovszky completing a hat trick with the second goal in the scenario. Moinuddin halted the Cornell offense with her fourth goal of the year at 16:12. Cornell would tack on one more tally at 5:31 to bring the game to the final score of 10-2.
Senior Victoria Holland (Huntington, N.Y.) recorded a career-high 15 saves in net for the Bears while Renee Poullott made four stops for the Big Red.
Cornell concluded the game with a 33-10 shot advantage and the lead in draw controls, 11-3. The Big Red was 4-for-8 on free position shots while the Bears were 0-for-2. Cornell was an impressive 18-for-19 in clears and held Brown to 15-of-21.
