Jamieson Backbones Bears Defense for Win
PROVIDENCE, R.I. – In a fierce battle against ECAC Hockey
foe Union, it was Brown that came out on top as senior co-captain
Katelyn Landry (Belmont, Mass.) tallied the game-winning goal with
just 72 seconds left in the contest. Junior goaltender Katie
Jamieson (Waterloo, Ontario) put Brown in a position to take the
victory, making 42 saves in her first shutout of the season.
Union (3-9-1, 1-4-1) came out strong in the first period,
out-shooting Brown 13-1 in first 10 minutes of the initial frame.
The Dutchwomen benefited from three Brown (2-2-3, 1-2-3)
infractions, but the Bear penalty kill was impressive, blanking
Union on all three opportunities.
The Brown offense got in gear in the second, finding chances and
the Bears’ first power play, but Union goalie Shenae Lundberg
was able to fend off Bruno’s attack.
Brown nearly broke the scoreless tie 4:19 into the third period,
when rookie Shannon Flatley (Toronto, Ontario) took control of the
puck deep in the Brown zone and went end-to-end, skating past
several Union defenders. Flatley came up on the stick side of
Lundberg, and found sophomore Emilie Dolan (Montreal West, Quebec)
for the one-time opportunity, but the Union netminder was able to
make a great save on the Bears offensive offer.
With just 1:12 left in the game and overtime seeming likely,
freshman Janice Yang (Westport, Conn.) took the pass from classmate
Kaitlyn Keon (Toronto, Ontario) and made into the Dutchwomen zone,
before finding Landry in position for the go-ahead goal.
With their first conference win of the season, the Bears move into
a seventh-place tie with St. Lawrence in the ECAC standings.
Brown will take nearly a two-month a break from the league slate
next weekend and travels to Maine for two games before going
cross-town on Nov. 25 for the annual Mayor’s Cup versus
Providence College.
