Box Score

NEW YORK, N.Y. - The Brown field hockey team was defeated by Columbia, 4-2, in its Ivy League opener on Friday night at Columbia Field Hockey Stadium.

The Lions (4-3, 1-0 Ivy League) scored once in both the first and second quarter and added two tallies in the third. Brown (2-6, 0-1 Ivy League) received both its scores from sophomore Danielle van Rootselaar (Bilthoven, Netherlands).

"It was a tough loss today," said head coach Jill Reeve. "We performed well and executed our set pieces but failed to finish. We fought every minute of the game and I'm proud of our team for their perseverance today."

Isabella Collins put Columbia on the board at 11:12 of the first and Allison Smith made it 2-0 at 23:43 of the second.

Van Rootselaar pulled the Bears within one before the end of the half, scoring at 27:38 straight off a penalty corner with junior Kelly Raymond (Salem, N.H.) and senior Hannah Leckey (Madison, Conn.) recording the assists.

Smith scored her second of the evening at 34:25 and Kelsey Farkas converted on a penalty stroke at 39:50 to give Columbia a 4-1 advantage. Van Rootselaar added her final tally at 52:11 with senior Ali Dunning (Amersham, England) contributing the helper.

Shots ended even for both teams at 13-13, with Brown holding a slight advantage in the first half, 6-5. Penalty corners favored the Lions, 6-4, with all four of the Bears' chances coming in the opening half.

Freshman Calista Manuzza (North Caldwell, N.J.) came up with a career-best five stops in the cage while Alexa Conomikes also turned away five shots.

Brown next continues Ivy League play and will host Dartmouth at Goldberger Family Field on Saturday, Oct. 5 at 12:00 p.m.
