Box Score

PROVIDENCE, R.I. – A goal by St. Lawrence with 33.3 seconds remaining in regulation stunned the Brown women's hockey team in a 1-1 tie on Friday night at Meehan Auditorium. The Bears are now unbeaten in five of their last six games.

Sophomore Maya Mangiafico picked up her seventh assist of the season on the marker.
Sophomore Kaley Doyle made 27 saves.

Brown held a 32-17 edge in faceoffs.

HOW IT HAPPENED

After a scoreless opening period, Brown upped the pressure in the second period, outshooting SLU 17-12 and taking the lead late in the frame. Mangiafico skated the puck into the offensive zone along the boards and fed a pass to Hurd in the low slot, who redirected it into the net to give the Bears the lead at the 16:08 mark.
With the extra skater on the ice and their net empty, the Saints Abby Hustler scored on a slap shot from the blue line that clanked off the crossbar and in through a screen to knot the score at one with 33.3 seconds remaining.
Brown controlled the tempo throughout much for the 3-on-3 overtime, but was unable to find the back of the net.

QUOTES FROM THE COACH: MELANIE RUZZI

"This was a really complete game for us. Systematically at times this season in tight games, we tried to do too much and strayed outside of our system, and today we put a major focus on playing our game, and doing it consistently and executing, and I thought we did that all game. We shut them down in the neutral zone, they couldn't get through us and had a hard time breaking out out against us. We blocked shots, picked up sticks in front, and we did all of the details of the game very well."
"I knew it was going to be difficult to close it out if we only had a one goal lead. We didn't do as well on the power play today. We let them stick around and they're the No. 4 team in our league and have seniors and grad students all over the roster."
"When we went to 3-on-3, we dominated them. They couldn't get much going, but they have a really good goaltender that leads the league in save percentage. I'm really proud of our team for that, but we just didn't finish."

POSTSEASON OUTLOOK
With Princeton's 2-0 loss at Harvard on Friday night, Brown gains on the Tigers and now sits just 3.5 points behind Princeton for the eighth and final spot in the ECAC Tournament. Brown has three games remaining while Princeton has four, including two games this weekend at Dartmouth.

UP NEXT
Brown will host its final home game of the season tomorrow afternoon at 3 p.m. when they welcome No. 9/10 Clarkson to Meehan Auditorium on Senior Day. Brown's six-member senior class of 2022 will be recognized in a postgame ceremony, along with the class of 2021.
