PHILADELPHIA – Mia Mascone finished with five goals and six assists to set a new standard for points in a season as the senior shattered Lauren Becker's record, held since 1986, with 88 points in a year (the record was 78). The 11 points tied for a career-best in a game, set earlier this season in the victory over Bryant.

Brown (9-5, 2-4 Ivy) fell to No. 14 Penn (11-3, 4-2 Ivy) 19-13 on Saturday at Franklin Field. Annie Burton added three goals and an assist and Greta Criqui registered two goals.
