FAIRFIELD, Conn. – Brown got off to a cold start, falling behind early to Sacred Heart in a 71-46 loss on Sunday (Nov. 14). Isabella Mauricio led the way for the Bears with 12 points.

Kayla Jones was second on the team with nine points going 3-for-4 from the free throw line. In total, Brown was able to get to the line 26 times but only hit 13. Amanda Latkany and Mya Murray finished the game with six points each and Grace Kirk and Dani Short each added four.
Latkany led Brown with nine rebounds, Murray finished with seven and Chantal Nadia had six. Jones finished the game with five rebounds and a team-high three steals.

Latkany hit a layup and Short hit two free throws as the Bears tried to climb back in to the game. Jones hit another layup but Sacred Heart pushed its lead to 25 to end the quarter.
