By David F.P. [Modest Image Gallery]
New Haven, CT- In a clash of ECAC and Ivy League foes Brown took on Yale on Wednesday Night. It was a game in which Yale spent a great deal of time in the Brown end pressuring and prodding, trying to get the puck past Katie Jamieson. Early in the first a Yale goal was waved off after protests from the Brown bench. The visitors meanwhile got on the board first when Janice Yang swept in on Jaimie Leonoff and got it past the Yale keeper at 11:36. At the time no assists were announced but they were later awarded to Katelyn Landry and Paige Pyett. The score remained 1-0 until less than a minute to play in the period when Brown’s Lauren Vella teed up a shot from near the blue line and it got past the keeper anyway. Brown entered the second period up 2-0. Landry and Jessica Hoyle were given assists on that goal as well.
