PROVIDENCE, R.I. – The Brown Bears (2-2) return to College Hill to host the Navy Midshipmen (2-2) in a NIRA contest at noon on Saturday.

Brown looks to get back in the win column while the Mids look to make it two straight wins. Saturday's match will stream on ESPN+.

Abby Hershner leads Navy with 28 points this season after recording nine points – all via penalty kicks – in last weekend's win over the Sharks.
