PROVIDENCE, R.I. – The Brown women's lacrosse team defeated Harvard 11-6 Saturday afternoon to open Ivy League play. The Bears scored six unanswered goals to end the game to go from down one to a five-goal victory.

Brown improved to 2-1 on the year and 1-0 in Ivy action, while Harvard fell to 0-3 and 0-1.

Annie Burton led the Bears with four points from three goals and one assist, while Maddie Joyce (3G), Claire Jeschke (1G, 2A), and Mia Mascone (1G, 2A) all had three points. Greta Criqui scored once and assisted once, Jackie Mason picked up two assists, and Jessie Bakes and Carly Camphausen both tallied one strike.

The Bears opened the game strong, striking in the first minute to take the first lead of the contest. They eventually led 5-2 with nine minutes remaining in the opening half after goals from five different players.

The Crimson put together a 3-0 run to end the second quarter and go into halftime knotted at five. Harvard added one more in the third to take their first, and only, lead of the game at 6-5.

From there, it was all Brown. Jeschke tied the game less than a minute later and Joyce gave them back the lead with 3:56 to go in the third.

Another Joyce goal, sandwiched between a pair of strikes by Burton, and capped off with Camphausen's first collegiate goal, completed the 6-0 run for the Bears. It gave them an 11-6 lead with 11:25 to play and that's how the game would end.

On the day, Brown was 16-for-17 on clears and owned the draw control advantage 13-8. A 5-0 draw control edge in the first as well as a 4-0 mark in the fourth helped the Bears build an early lead and then pull away at the end of the game.

Brown will head to No. 4 Boston College this Wednesday, March 8 for a 3 p.m. matchup.
