PROVIDENCE, R.I. - Freshmen Kyra Treanor and Ella Weil scored their first-career goals as the Brown women's soccer team captured its first win of the season, 2-0 over Central Connecticut State on Thursday evening.

"I think the team was hungry for this one," head coach Kia McNeill said. "We've gotten better and better every game and it was nice to get the shutout and two goals from freshmen today"

The Bears opened the scoring three minutes into the contest off a corner kick as Kira Maguire played the ball into the 18-yard box and found Kyra Treanor, Treanor's header was able to find the back of the net.

"I thought there were a lot of momentum shifts in the first half," McNeill added. "I thought our speed of play was too slow in the first half and we were playing around with the ball in the back. Soccer is a game of chances and we wanted to get the ball in the final third and create more chances and pin them in more. I thought we did that better in the second half, all in all it's a good win."

Brown will be back in action on Sunday, Sept. 12 when they take on Minnesota at 1:00 p.m.
