Box Score

ROCHESTER, N.Y. - The Brown women's hockey team was defeated by RIT, 4-2, on Saturday at the Gene Polisseni Center. After 15 combined penalties and three power-play goals scored in game one, the two teams duplicated the result as 15 infractions were also called and three special team tallies were recorded in the series finale.

Senior Maybelline Beiring (Calumet, Mich.) was able to score a power-play goal for Brown (0-2-0) while junior Darby Melia (Marshfield, Mass.) registered the Bears' first goal of the season in the second period.

"We had a slow start which ultimately hurt us," said head coach Carisa Zaban Wahlig. "I like that we continued the habit of out shooting them in the second and third period. We scored some beautiful goals and had our chances, but just couldn't connect."

RIT (2-5-1) gained a 2-0 lead after the first period with a power-play tally from Logan Land at 7:46 and a goal from Marchese Jordan at 11:56. The Tigers were 1-for-3 on the power-play while the Bears came up empty in their lone chance.

After getting outshot 12-5 in the first, Brown came back to hold the shot advantage in the second, 12-10, while each team scored two goals in the frame. Melia pulled the Bears within one early in the period with a score a 1:22 that was assisted by sophomore Shay Maloney (McHenry, Ill.).

The Tigers quickly responded when Rachel Goff scored 25 seconds later at 1:47 to bump their advantage back up to two. Goff then scored a power-play goal at 15:00 for a 4-1 RIT lead. Beiring's power-play score came at 16:06 of the period, an unassisted goal.

The Bears concluded the stanza going 1-for-4 on the power-play while RIT duplicated its first period total and was 1-for-3.

Neither team put in a score in the third as Brown outshot the home squad, 11-7, while each team was shutout on the power-play (0-for-2).

Junior Lauren Rippy (Plymouth, Mich.) finished the afternoon with nine saves with no goals allowed while senior Calla Isaac (Sherwood Park, Alberta) came up with 16 stops in the initial 35 minutes of play. Jessi O'Leary ended the matchup with 26 saves for the Tigers.

RIT held the overall edge in shots for the contest at 29-28 while going 2-for-8 on the power play. Brown went 1-for-7 on the power-play with Beiring's score. Goff led the Tigers in scoring with two goals and one assist while Land contributed one goal and two helpers.

Brown next opens ECAC play and will travel to Harvard on Friday, Nov. 1 (3:30 p.m.) and Dartmouth on Saturday, Nov. 2 (3:00 p.m.).
