With the score tied, 1-1, early in the opening quarter, Brown reeled off eight straight goals to grab a 9-1 lead at the half. Seven different Brown players scored in the spurt, including two by Panepinto and Hudak.
It was more of the same in the second half as Brown extended its lead to 12 goals, 13-1, on an unassisted goal by Luke McCaleb (Chevy Chase, MD).
