HAMDEN, Conn. - The Brown field hockey team was defeated by Quinnipiac, 5-2, as the Bears closed out their non-conference schedule on Sunday in rainy conditions at Quinnipiac Field Hockey Stadium.

Brown (5-10) received its goals from junior Anya Nayak (Ann Arbor, Mich.) and sophomore Emma Rosen (Wilton, Conn.) in the fourth quarter with senior Corinne Condie (St. Louis, Mo.) assisting both scores.

Quinnipiac (4-13) would score four unanswered goals to open the contest before the Bears got on the board at 53:20 of the fourth on Nayak's tally. Rosen made it two in a row at 57:38 but the Bobcats would score as time expired for the final of 5-2.

"Our slow stars have been hurting us," said head coach Jill Reeve. "We played ourselves back into the game in the second half. Our corner execution was excellent. We'll need to win more corners in future matches."

The Bobcats took a 1-0 lead soon into the contest with a goal by Brooke Whipkey at 2:54. Julianna Cappello made it 2-0 at 8:57. Quinnipiac continued its run with two scores from Bianka Strubbe (19:02, 29:40) for a 4-0 lead going into halftime.

Brown outshot Quinnipiac in the first, 4-3, while the home team had the advantage in the second, 9-2. Penalty corners all came in the second, with the Bobcats holding a 3-1 edge.

Neither team was able to score in the third while just three total shots were generated in the frame.

Brown picked up the offense in the fourth, outshooting Quinnipiac 8-3. Nayak gave the Bears their first score at 57:38 on a deflection from Condie's strike following a corner. Rosen next scored at 57:38 on a similar play, receiving a pass from Condie on the far side of the cage following a corner.

Mikayla Dugan would end the scoring in the contest for Quinnipiac at 60:00.

Strubbe led the Bobcats with two goals and an assist while Eva Veldhorst contributed two assists. Quinnipiac outshot Brown 17-15 overall and had a 7-6 advantage in corners.

Freshman Calista Manuzza (North Caldwell, N.J.) came up with four saves in the cage while freshman Jodie Brine (Oxshott, U.K.) added three. Mack Vorell turned away eight shots for Quinnipiac.

Brown will next host its final home game of 2019, welcoming Penn to Goldberger Family field on Saturday, Nov. 2 at 12:00 p.m.
