Field Hockey Drops Ivy League Road Tilt at Brown, 2-1

PROVIDENCE, Rhode Island – The Dartmouth field hockey team dropped an Ivy League road contest Saturday morning at Brown, 2-1. 
 
Rebecca Hu scored the Big Green’s lone goal of the contest in the 11th minute, while goalkeeper Paige Duffy stopped five shots in the losing effort.

Brown (4-5, 1-1 Ivy) jumped out to a 1-0 lead in the eighth minute on a goal from Alexis Miller following a corner play. Emily Arciero and Anna Masini — sister of former Big Green (3-5, 0-2 Ivy) player Lisa Masini ’13 — picked up the helpers on the play.

That one-goal advantage lasted just under three minutes as Hu jumped on a rebound after a Dartmouth penalty corner and buried a shot into the back of the net for the unassisted equalizer.
The home team wasted little time in regaining the lead as Ellie Seid notched an unassisted marker in the 15th minute.

Neither team was able to find the scoring touch the rest of the way as a defensive battle ensued for the final 55:12 of play.

Part of that defensive battle was in the form of a defensive save by Clare Detrick-Yee on the Big Green side and another by Maddie Ayles for the Bears.

Brown goalkeeper Kattie Hammaker picked up the win, matching Duffy save-for-save and finishing with five.

Dartmouth finished the contest with edges in shots (20-15) and penalty corners (10-9).

There is little time for rest as the Big Green are back in action on Sunday down the road against the Providence Friars.
