BROWN TALKING POINTS

Sophomore Shay Maloney is the team's top returning point scorer from 2018-19, with seven goals and 11 assists for 18 points. Named the team MVP following the season, Maloney led the Bears with three power-play goals and also ranked third in blocked shots (58). All three of Brown's netminders from last season return, with sophomore Hayley Kliczko and senior Calla Isaac starting 14 and 13 games, respectively.
Maloney leads the team in scoring so far this season with two goals and one assist for three points. Her three-game point streak came to an end on Tuesday at UConn. Prior to the contest against the Huskies, Maloney had goals in back-to-back games. Junior Darby Melia is second in scoring with two points (2G). Calla Isaac leads the netminding group with four games played and a .899 save percentage. The Sherwood Park, Alberta native stopped a career-best 55 shots last weekend at Harvard (Nov. 1).
