NEW HAVEN, Conn. – The Brown women's lacrosse team was defeated by Yale, 11-10, on Saturday at Reese Stadium. The Bears held an 8-5 lead at the 18:45 mark of the second half but the Bulldogs scored six of the next eight goals for the one-goal win.

After Yale's (3-2, 1-1 Ivy League) Anna Vetsch scored the go-ahead goal at 1:35, Brown (3-3, 0-2 Ivy League) forced a turnover to gain possession with just under a minute remaining, but the Bulldogs returned the favor and caused a turnover with 10 seconds left to ice the game.

Sophomore Claire Jeschke (Syracuse, N.Y.) led the Bears in scoring with four points on two goals and two assists while sophomore Alaina Parisella (Chatham, N.J.) added a career-high three goals.

"It's a tough loss," said head coach Keely McDonald. "We played on our heels at the end of the game when we needed to stay aggressive."

Mosenthal and Parisella opened the game with scores at 28:13 and 20:13, respectively, for a 2-0 Brown lead. Yale bounced back and took its first lead of the day, 3-2, with three unanswered scores which included two tallies by Payton Vaughn (19:19 - free position, 10:15).

The Bears got two back with Mosenthal's second of the afternoon (6:20) and a Jeschke tally with the help of junior Maggie Fowler (Bethesda, Md.) at 2:35 for an one-goal advantage.

Yale's Olivia Markert made to 4-4 to head into the break with a goal with 49 seconds left in the period.

Clare Boone kept Yale in it early with eight saves in the first half that saw the Bears outshoot the Bulldogs by a 17-6 margin. Brown also had a 7-2 lead in draw controls for the stanza.

DeRosa gave the Bears their first special team's score of the contest to start things in the second on a free-position shot (28:32) and Parisella followed for a 6-4 lead. Brown would later up its advantage to 9-6 on senior KC Williams' (Duxbury, Mass.) goal at 13:00.

Yale would then close the contest with five of the next six scores for its first conference victory of the season. Olivia Penoyer (10:52, 2:53 - free position) and Bri Carrasquillo (9:15 - free position, 3:59) added two goals in the closing while Vetsch put away the game winner with 1:35 left.

The Bears again outshot Yale in the second, 15-9, and for the game at 32-15. The draw control battle also favored Brown in the period, 9-5 (16-7 overall).

Yale capitalized on its free-position opportunities, going 3-for-4 overall, including 2-for-3 in the second. Brown was 1-for-4 on the day with its only success coming in the second (1-for-3).

Williams led the Bears at the draw with eight total while freshman Emmie Lau (Pittsburg, Pa.) contributed seven.

In addition to Jeschke and Parisella, Mosenthal and Williams each added two goals in multipoint efforts. With her two scores today, Mosenthal moved into sole possession of eighth place in all-time scoring at Brown with 138 points (120G, 18A), passing Phoebe Koch '98 (101-36-137).
