Box Score

PROVIDENCE, R.I. - Trailing 15-8 with 5:03 remaining in the third quarter, the Brown men's lacrosse team (6-5, 1-3 Ivy) mounted a seven-goal comeback to defeat Dartmouth (4-7, 0-4 Ivy), 17-16, in overtime on Saturday afternoon at Stevenson-Pincince Field.

"I'm incredibly proud of this group," Rothman Head Coaching Chair for Men's Lacrosse Jon Torpey said. "Down 15-8 with five minutes to go in the third quarter against an incredibly talented and well-coached Dartmouth team, we just kept fighting. This time of the year your seniors take over and the underclassmen show you how much they love their teammates. It was on full display today."

Brady O'Kane scored the game-winning goal 1:31 into overtime, the game-winning goal capped a four-goal game for the sophomore.

Jameson Steele led the Bears with five goals while Jeremy Hopsicker had a hat trick. Henry Brayer won 24 out of 36 face-off opportunities, Brayer also had 18 ground balls which is the second-most in a single game nationally this season.

A goal from Scandone cut the Dartmouth lead to 4-3 before the Big Green responded with two-straight goals, taking a 6-3 lead. After Dartmouth took a 6-3 lead, Brown responded with three out of the next four goals to cut the lead to 7-6. All three goals in the run were scored by Steele.

Dartmouth added one more goal in the first half, taking an 8-6 lead into the second half.

A goal from Jackson Wolfram cut the Dartmouth lead to 8-7 early in the second half before the Big Green mounted a 5-0 run, taking a 13-7 lead. After the Dartmouth run, the Bears responded with a 3-2 run, including the final two goals of the third quarter.

Brown extended its run to 8-0 with six-straight tallies to open the fourth. The run continued in the fourth with three goals from O'Kane, and one each from Steele, Hopsicker, and Marcus Wertheim. Wertheim's goal gave Brown a 16-15 lead with 3:00 remaining in the fourth quarter. After the Big Green tied the game with 35 seconds remaining, the game headed to overtime knotted at 16.
