The 11th-seeded Bears, fresh off a first
round series win over RPI (two-games to-one) face #6 Yale, the #1
seed, in a best-of-three Quarterfinal series. It marks the second
straight that year that Brown will play a Quarterfinal series, both
of which have been at Yale. Brown will look to pick up its first
victory in the Quarerfinals since the 2003 season when the Bears
defeated Yale in three games. Brown was swept by Harvard in 2004
and by Colgate in 2005.
All-Time in the ECAC Quarterfinals: Since the
first season that the ECAC hosted a Quarterfinal Round of the
playoffs (1961-62), Brown has played in the Quarterfinals 22 times.
The Bears were 4-7-0 in single-elimination games between 1961-62
and 1981-82, when the League switched to a best-of-three series for
the Quarterfinals. The 1991-92 season was also single-elimination
for the Quarterfinals, with Brown losing its only game. In
best-of-three games, Brown is 6-16-1, winning the series three
times (1993, 1994, 2003).
