Brown for a second year hosted the 3rd Annual Ivy Tournament in Providence with games on Saturday vs Yale and Princeton and a final on Sunday vs Brown. Columbia and Cornell dropped out, so there were only four teams this time.
Rainy on Saturday but nicer on Sunday, the weather was an improvement over last year’s driving rain for our game with Brown.
Impressively, Krista Schemitsch and Abby Headstrom came even though they were not yet game-ready to play! Special thanks to Krista for recording notes on Saturday’s games while coach was en route from a Colorado family ski trip!
Fans came! Abby R’s dad, Chloe’s parents+pups, Eliza’s boyfriend+pup, Abby B’s sister and mom, maybe others?
We had done well versus Yale and Princeton in previous Ivy Tournament games, but Brown has always been a special opponent, with our 2:1 win over them 2 years ago to win the final and a 1:2 loss to them last year in driving rain.

Brown shots 8:21 saves 9:4
They were physical, tall, grabbed our jerseys (don’t see much of that in our games) and imposing on set plays.
After Eliza prevented Brown from scoring in the 13th minute, Addie made a save from brown shot, but their tall payers out-jumped us for the first two goals on corner kicks.
Liv blocked a Brown shot just before Addie made another save. Lizzy earned a free kick in midfield taken by Molly before Hattie earned another free kick taken by Kelly, whose shot was on target and saved for a corner.
Playing on turf with multiple sets of lines made it easy to explain away a yellow card for handling the ball outside the box that set up their free kick on our 18 for their third goal. Brown had a shot go wide before Eliza prevented another Brown shot.
Addie did very well to get her fingers on a shot driven powerfully by Brown, but it was unstoppable. Avery’s corner kick found Chloe, whose shot on target was saved.
Avery took another corner kick before Addie made two more saves on a Brown attempts, and Sara provided a clearance on a Brown corner kick.
Nicole earned a free kick in midfield taken by Kelly, whose fine placement found Caitlin, but her header went just wide. After Brown sent two more shots wide, Addie saved another one before they sent a shot on a free kick over our cross-bar.
Addie made another save in the 59th minute but Brown converted on the rebound. Abby B earned a free kick from midfield taken by Molly before Sara had her shot go over their cross-bar.
Brown’s header from a corner kick went wide before Addie made another save in the 72nd minute. Kalyn’s shot was blocked for a corner taken by Abby R, whose aim found Sara, but her ensuing header went wide.
Addie made yet another save - her 9th - before Kalyn’s shot was saved for a corner taken by Lizzy.
Brown has always been a strong team, and it’s good to play strong teams! We were happy with our two wins and appearance in the Ivy Tournament final.
