Bears Down Sacred Heart, 4-0

It was double-assisted by Megan Patterson (Holliston, MA) and Susana Garcia (Highland Lakes, NJ). Although Brown continued to pressure the Pioneer defense, the team was held scoreless for the remainder of the half.
The Bears came out dominating again in the second half, and this time found the back of the net at 28:45, when Hyun-Joo Park (Wayne, NJ) tipped in a ball from Susana Garcia. Ten minutes later, Garcia notched her own unassisted goal, increasing Brown's lead to three. With 9:38 left in the contest, Cara Gardner (Hensall, Ont.) scored the fourth goal for the Bears, knocking a loose ball into the corner of the cage.
