Postseason Guide: Brown at Florida State NCAA Second Round
Brown – the 2019 Ivy League champions and the league's NCAA automatic qualifier – faces Florida State on Friday, Nov. 22 at 5:00 p.m. (ACC Network Extra) at the Seminole Soccer Complex.
Brown brings one of the nation's top defenses, ranking second in the NCAA in GAA (0.32), second in goals allowed (six), and third in save percentage (.906), into Tallahassee, Fla., to take on the defending national champions. Florida State earned a No. 1 seed in the NCAA tournament for the second straight year and has posted a 45-1-1 record all-time at home in NCAA play.
The Bears feature the Ivy League Rookie of the Year – freshman Brittany Raphino (Randolph, Mass.) – as well as Ivy League Coach of the Year Kia McNeill while the Seminoles feature the ACC Offensive Player of the Year (Deyna Castellanos) and ACC Defensive Player of the Year (Malia Berkely).
In the Bears' NCAA first round game, junior goalkeeper Kayla Thompson (Austin, Texas) made six saves in regulation then stopped two shots in the penalty kick shootout as Brown topped Monmouth University in penalty kicks, 4-1, to advance to the second round of the NCAA tournament.
In a matchup featuring the top two teams in the nation in fewest goals allowed, the Bears and Hawks played to a 0-0 draw through double overtime before the hosts converted four straight penalty kicks and denied the visitors on two of their three attempts on Saturday, Nov. 16 at Stevenson-Pincince Field. Seniors Abby Carchio (Lakeville, Mass.) and Celia Story (Bainbridge Island, Wash.) and freshmen Ava Seelenfreund (Truckee, Calif.) and Brittany Raphino (Randolph, Mass.) all made penalty kicks for the Bears.
In 2019, Brown has set program records for wins in a single season (14) and shutouts in a single season (13).
Brown is in the midst of its seventh all-time appearance in the NCAA Championship and first since 1994. The Bears' previous six NCAA berths came in 1982, 1983, 1984, 1985, 1986, and 1994.
