Brown 13, Delaware 5

I know I said I was going to do an update on both games now, but I lied. I'm doing a write-up for the Delaware and I'll let pictures speak for themselves for Dartmouth. I also did video so it's gonna take a while to get that uploaded. For now, entertain yourself by reading about the Delaware game and hopefully in a few days you'll get Dartmouth material.

So, Delaware game. If you look back, there was only one thing I was remotely worried about early on in the season for Brown and that was quick execution of goals. Not anymore. They completely redeemed themselves and showed more promise than ever during Saturday's match against the Blue Hens. With the win, the no. 11 Bears advance to a 7-1 record, the best start since 2004 when they also opened at 7-1.

The scoring started off just 39 seconds into play with a shot by defenseman Jake Hardy that led to a roar from packed stands. From then on, the Bears put on a show of accuracy, intensity and a never say die type of play. Over the following minutes, sophomore Andrew Feinburg tallied his first of the day before a beautiful unassisted lefty shot from around the crease by Reade Seligman to put the Bears at 3-0 after the first.

Delaware's Martin Cahill got his first and only goal of the day in the second quarter off of an

assist by Josh Coveleski to advance to 4-1 after another Brown goal by Thomas Muldoon. Delaware rounded out their scoring in the second quarter with another by Mark Steverson and a third by Kevin Kaminski with just 12 seconds left in the half. The Bears, however, dominated the second quarter with goals by senior Nic Bell, a man-up goal by senior Kyle Hollingsworth and another by both Feinberg and Muldoon.

Despite a broken stick, goalkeeper Jordan Burke held off the Blue Hens to no goals in the third quarter as the attack continued the push with two goals by Muldoon. Then came the Play of the Game.

Off of a clear from Burke, Jeff Foote carried the ball down the field with a pass to Hollingsworth behind the net. Amidst a sea of Blue Hen defenseman in front of the cage, Hollingsworth found Williams who snagged his first of the day with just 10 seconds left in the third quarter.

Moments later, the Goal of Game was scored by senior Jack Walsh who hustled the entire game popping up in what seemed like every play for the Bears. Walsh's unassisted mark came off a 1v1 in front of the cage when Walsh dodged before finding the perfect angle for a behind-the-back stick-side high shot to make the score 12-3 in the fourth.

The Bears finished 13-5 after a goal by Foote and two shots by Delaware to round out the scoring. Overall, the intensity remained for the bears throughout every minute of play as they proved they are a force to be reckoned with throughout the division.

The Blue Hens fall to 3-7 as they look to get a win against Hofstra Saturday at home.

The Bears advance to 7-1 and look to take down Bryant University in the teams' first-ever meeting Tuesday night on Bryant's turf at 7:00 p.m.
