PROVIDENCE, R.I. – Brown University softball dropped a pair of decisions to Dartmouth College, 7-2 and 4-1, in an Ivy League North Division doubleheader at Brown Softball Field on Saturday afternoon.

In their opening games in divisional play, the Bears (16-14, 5-5 Ivy) challenged the Big Green (22-10, 10-0 Ivy) – the two-time defending Ivy champions and three-time defending North Division winners – in both contests.

Senior Janet Leung (Mississauga, Ontario), sophomore Yeram Park (Arcardia, Calif.), and junior Sarah Syrop (Kennesaw, Ga.) each recorded two hits in game one while junior Christina Andrews (Southlake, Texas) and freshman Annie Scarangella (Tucson, Ariz.) each posted two hits in game two.

Next, Brown hosts Dartmouth for another twin bill tomorrow beginning at 12:30 p.m.

Game 1: Dartmouth 7, Brown 2

Brown remained within 4-2 of Dartmouth through four innings, but the Ivy League North Division leaders plated three runs between the fifth and the sixth to take a 7-2 win.

Park went 2-for-4 with a triple, a double, an RBI, and a run, Syrop finished the game 2-for-3, and Leung went 2-for-4 with a run. Freshman Ashli Lotz (Austin, Texas) added a double and an RBI.

Sophomore Katie Orona (Pueblo, Colo.) threw a complete-game 7.0 innings, allowing seven runs, six earned, on 11 hits with three strikeouts in the loss (8-6).

Dartmouth's Morgan McCalmon (13-3) earned the win, pitching 7.0 innings and giving up two runs on nine hits with three strikeouts. The Big Green's Kelsey Miller went 3-for-4 with two RBIs and a double.

After Miller opened the game's scoring with an RBI double to right center in the top of the first, the Bears responded with two runs in the last of the frame to pull ahead 2-1.
