PROVIDENCE, R.I. – The Brown women's lacrosse team will host Hofstra this Tuesday, Feb. 22 at 1 p.m. at Stevenson-Pincince Field.

The Bears are coming off their season-opening win over Bryant in which four different players recorded multiple goals. The Pride are 1-1 on the season with a win over LIU, but most recently fell to Army.

The game will be broadcast live on ESPN+. Fans are strongly encouraged to purchase tickets online at BrownBears.com/tickets prior to their arrival at Stevenson-Pincince field. Brown Athletics has moved to completely contactless ticketing, so fans should either download their digital tickets to display on a mobile device or print them at home prior to arrival.

Scouting the Bears (1-0, 0-0 IVY)

The Bears were led in their win over Bryant by Claire Jeschke and her three goals and career-high four assists. Mia Mascone, Maggie Fowler, and Jackie Mason all scored twice and Leah Caputo recorded four points from one goal and three assists.
Brown won 16 draw controls versus Bryant's 13 and were successful on 19 of its 23 clear attempts. The groundball battle was even with both teams grabbing 12.
The Bears will be looking to start the season 2-0 for the eighth time in the last nine years. The only time in that span they have not done so was when they dropped an overtime contest at Ohio State in the second game of the 2019 season.

Scouting the Pride (1-1, 0-0 CAA)

Through two games this season, Hofstra has been led by Taylor Mennella and Katie Whelan who have each recorded four goals and one assist. Of the Prides' 20 goals so far this season, an assist has only been recorded on four.
Jess Smith has played both games in goal and has posted a 9.06 goals against average and a .538 save percentage.
Hofstra is 2-2 in its last four games against Ivy League competition. The Pride beat Columbia in the 2019 and 2018 seasons, while falling to Dartmouth twice during those same years.

Series History

Brown leads the all-time series over Hofstra with an 8-3 record.
The two sides have not faced off since 2009, a game that resulted in an 11-7 Hofstra victory.
The Bears' last win in the series came in 1996.
