ABOUT BROWN
- Brown picked up its first win of the season with a road win over Wagner on Sunday. The Bears took down the Seahawks 75-62 with strong performances from Kyla Jones and Gianna Aiello. Kyla Jones had a career-high 32 points while Gianna Aiello had a career-best 18 rebounds. Aiello also led the team with five assists, four blocked shots and three steals.
- Kyla Jones has been on a tear early in the year, averaging over 22 points per game through the first three games of the season. Jones became the first Bear to score 30 points since Sheyna Mehta did so back in the 2018-19 season. Jones has scored in double-figures in all three games this season and dating back to last season, Jones has scored in double figures in her last nine games and 13 of her last 14.
- Aiello's 18 rebound performance accounted for half of Brown's rebounds against Wagner. She became the first Bear to pull down 18 rebounds since a 19-rebound performance since Erika Steeves had a 19-rebound effort against Hampton in 2017.
- Isabella Mauricio scored 16 points at Wagner to give her double-digit points in each of the last two games. After a career-high 27 points and seven threes against Duquesne, Mauricio had three against the Seahawks.
