PROVIDENCE, R.I. – Lexi Pellegrino found the back of the net for the fifth straight game and added an assist, but the Yale Bulldogs (5-2, 1-0 Ivy League) came from behind to take a 3-2 overtime win over the Brown Bears (5-2, 0-1 Ivy League) in the conference opener Friday afternoon at Goldberger Family Field.

Both teams now stand at 5-2 in the 2022 season with Yale holding the 1-0 conference record.

The Bears took the early lead with 1:38 remaining in the first quarter as Pellegrino finished a feed from Emma Rothkopf off a penalty corner.

The Bulldogs found the equalizer with 4:57 remaining in the second quarter, also off a penalty corner. Théodora Dillman beat Brown goalkeeper Jodie Brine (3 saves) with an assist from Maddy Wong.

After a scoreless third quarter, Brown took a 2-1 lead with 13:14 remaining in the fourth as Lucy Adams deflected Pellegrino's shot past Yale goalkeeper Luanna Summer (4 saves).

Ellie Barlow brought the score back to even at 2-2 with 1:56 remaining in regulation. Barlow triggered Yale's penalty corner and slid to the far post and finished a feed from Alissa Wong.

Yale was awarded a penalty corner less than 30 seconds into overtime and Dillman scored her second of the game to give the Bulldogs the win.
