Box Score

CAMBRIDGE, Mass. – A pair of power play goals, including the overtime game-winner from sophomore Cameron Sikich helped the Brown women's hockey team upset Harvard 2-1 on Saturday evening.

Brown's third win in a row moves the Bears to 3-0-1 on the season. Harvard entered Saturday's game receiving votes in both the USCHO Poll and USA Today/College Hockey Magazine Poll.

INSIDE THE BOX SCORE

Sophomore Olivia Williamson scored her first career goal just over one minute into the game on the power play.
Sikich scored the game-winner in sudden death for her first of the season.
Cassidy Piersiak, India McDadi and Maya Mangiafico all picked up assists.
Sophomore Kaley Doyle made a career-high 44 saves for the Bears, topping her previous career-best of 40 against Yale from Jan. 30, 2022.
Brown was 2-for-3 on the power play, and killed off all four of their shorthanded situations.
The Crimson outshot Brown by a 45-32 margin.

HOW IT HAPPENED

The Bears started the game on the power play after a delay of game penalty and capitalized right away as Williamson took a pass from Piersiak in the neutral zone, skated it in and let go a wrist shot from the high slot that went into the top left corner for the early 1-0 lead.
Harvard tied it later in the first at 12:17 on a goal from Paige Lester.
Harvard outshot Brown 29-24 over a scoreless final two periods.
In overtime, McDadi drew a slashing call in the defensive zone to send the Bears back on the power play just under two minutes in.
Brown controlled the play for much of the 4-on-3 advantage and ended it with the game-winner at the 3:10 mark. McDadi fed Sikich, who carried the puck across the high slot and let go a wrist shot that found its way through a screen in front that was set by Madie Stockfish to light the lamp.

UP NEXT
The Bears will return home to face Princeton on Friday evening at 6 p.m., before facing Quinnipiac on Saturday afternoon at 3 p.m., both at Meehan Auditorium.
