Sophomore Charlotte Jewell was efficient on offense, scoring 11 points on 4-for-5 shooting. Jewell went 3-for-4 from three-point range, tied with Isabella Mauricio for the most threes made by the team that night. Jewell was also tied with Chantal Nadia with six rebounds to lead the team. Jewell also had three assists to finish second on the team.
Amanda Latkany finished the game against Fairfield with seven points, leading the Bears off the bench. Latakany was 3-for-5 from the floor and pulled down five rebounds.
Brown has had control of the series with Sacred Heart in recent history. The Bears have won five-straight against the Pioneers, including a 102-77 win back in 2017 in the last meeting. The 102 points are the most Brown has scored against a Division I opponent in school history.
