Team Notes: Bears to Face Bulldogs in New Haven

The following article appeared January 15 on the Brown Web site.

 

The Bears face Yale in their only game this week and will wrap up the regular-season series with the Bulldogs looking for their first win over Yale in 11 tries. Brown's only win over Yale with the current class of seniors came during their freshman season; a 3-2 overtime win in December of 2006. Since then, Yale has reeled off 10 straight wins, including a 6-5 overtime victory earlier this season.

Last Time Out: Brown dropped a 9-4 decision to Dartmouth last Friday, in the first meeting between the two schools this season. The Big Green got out to a 3-0 first-period lead and extended that lead to 4-0 before junior Harry Zolnierczyk got the Bears on the board. Another Dartmouth goal made it 5-1 at the end of two periods, but freshman Marc Senecal scored Brown's second of the night 11 seconds into the third for a 5-2 score. The two teams combined for three more goals over the next three-and-a-half minutes, with Dartmouth answering every Brown score with a goal of its own. After the Big Green held an 8-3 lead with 5:46 remaining, Zolnierczyk scored his second of the night and first career power play goal to cut the lead in half. Dartmouth would add its own power play marker with 2:09 left for the 9-4 final. Sophomore Jack
Maclellan also scored in the loss, while sophomore Mike Clemente (17) and senior Dan Rosen (14) combined for 31 saves.

Coming Up: Brown closes out a stretch of six straight road games next weekend with a trip to the North Country on January 22nd and 23rd. The games at Clarkson and St. Lawrence also mark the return of regular weekend (Friday-Saturday) games for the Bears, who will have played just a single game in the two weekends prior to the trip . Following the trip to the North Country, Brown returns home for a pair of League games against RPI and Union on January 29th and 30th, its first home games since December 8th.
