Box Score

PROVIDENCE, R.I. – Brown women's hockey (11-7-1, 7-4-1 ECAC) finished a 2-0 home weekend with a 3-1 win over Union (8-11-3, 2-9-1 ECAC) in Meehan Auditorium on Saturday (Jan. 3).

Sam Broz, Gali Levy and Margot Norehad all found the net for Brown. Anya Zupkofska earned the win in net with nine saves.

In a game Brown dominated, Union actually got the scoring going first with a power play goal at 10:55 in the first period.

After allowing eight shots in the first period, Brown's defense shut down the Garnet Chargers, allowing two Union shots in the second and held Union without a shot on goal in the final 20 minutes. In total, Brown outshot Union 54-10.

Brown broke through in the second at 5:12 as Broz scored her third goal of the season. Monique Lyons, who finished the game with two assists, won the puck in the corner and sent it cross ice to Norehad. From the top of the near circle, Norehad sent the puck to net and Broz deflected it past Monja Wagner (51 saves) to tie the game.

With one minute left in period, Victoria Damiani had the puck under Brown's goal and sent it up the near boards to India McDadi. McDadi passed ahead to Levy starting a two-on-one for the Bears. Levy kept the puck and went five-hole to put the Bears on top.

Brown completely controlled the third period, outshooting Union 15-0 and got the insurance goal as Lyons brought the puck into the Brown zone and found Norehad right in front of the net for the tip-in goal.
