NEW YORK, N.Y. – Weather did not slow down one of the nation's leading offenses as No. 22 Brown University (7-2, 1-1 Ivy) dominated its way to a 19-7 win over Columbia University (2-7, 0-3 Ivy) on a rainy Saturday at Robert K. Kraft Field at Lawrence A. Wien Stadium.

Claire Mahoney (6-1) made her sixth start of the season and registered six saves in the win.

Following her three goals and four assists today, Mia Mascone's 60 points in 2024 tied Kerri Whitaker '96 for the fifth most in program single-season history.

Greta Criqui led the Bears with four goals, Leah Caputo added three goals, Annie Burton finished with two goals and three assists and Julia Ford found the net three times.
