The Bears will look to make a move in the ECAC Hockey standings
this weekend against Harvard and Dartmouth, two schools surrounding
Brown in the League standings. The Bears are just one point behind
the Crimson and sit four points ahead of the Big Green. Currently
riding a three-game unbeaten streak (2-0-1) and a six-game unbeaten
streak at home (5-0-1), Brown will look to continue its momentum,
as this weekend marks two of the final four regular season home
games that remain on the schedule. This weekend also marks Alumni
Weekend, as the annual Alumni Game is scheduled for Saturday at
noon.
Last Time Out: Brown picked up three points last
weekend in a pair of overtime games. On Friday night, the Bears
earned a 4-3 win over RPI, as senior Aaron Volpatti scored just 47
seconds into the overtime. The next night against Union, Brown came
back from a 2-0 first period deficit with a pair of second period
goals to force the tie and pick up the point. On Friday, Brown was
led by four different players with two points each, as Volpatti and
sophomore Bobby Farnham both had a goal and an assist, and senior
Sean McMonagle and junior Harry Zolnierczyk both had a pair of
assists. Sophomore Mike Clemente recorded 27 saves. The next night
against Union, Brown received goals from sophomore Jack Maclellan,
who netted his second goal of the weekend, and junior Tyler
Fernandez, who tallied his first career goal. Clemente earned the
tie with 31 saves, including all 22 he faced in the final 45
minutes of play.
Coming Up: The Bears' final six games will
alternate between away and homeseries, as Brown travels to Cornell
and Colgate next weekend to close out the regular-season series
with the New York duo. Brown returns home February 19-20 and then
will close out the regular season on the road with a trip to
Quinnipiac and Princeton.
