WOMEN'S SOCCER TAKES ON BROWN WEDNESDAY NIGHT

SMITHFIELD, RI- Coming off their second win of the season, the Bryant women's soccer team will play just one game this week, as they take on the Bears from Brown University Wednesday night in Providence, Rhode Island. The Bulldogs defeated Wagner Sunday afternoon thanks to two goals from freshman forward Kaitlyn Hinck (Bow, N.H.) who now leads the team with four on the season. Senior captain Danielle Malta (Bethel, Conn.) also had a big day, recording her first career goal as well as notching the assist on the game-tying goal. Now the Bulldogs will turn their attention to the Bears, who were ranked eighth in the Northeast according to the NSCAA/Adidas poll.

Scouting the Bears
Brown (4-4-2, 1-1-0 Ivy League) is coming off an overtime loss to Ivy League rival Columbia, 2-1, on Saturday. This season, the Bears have played three nationally ranked opponents, going 1-1-1 in those contests. Brown tied the number one team in the country, UCLA, 0-0 back on September 14th, while beating 11th ranked Penn State, 1-0, in overtime, and falling to 13th ranked Boston College, 3-0.

Kate Scott and Marybeth Lesbirel are tied for the team lead in points, each recording three goals and one assist on the season. Lesbirel provides a spark off the bench, playing in all ten games for the Bears without a start. She is second on the team with 20 shots. In net, Brenna Hogue as recorded three shutouts while allowing just 12 goals and making 83 saves.

Underclass Heroes
The Bulldogs have continued to see great contributions from underclassmen this season. Freshman Kaitlyn Hinck leads the team with eight points, tallying four goals thus far including the game winning goals in both wins for Bryant (3-2 over Northern Colorado and 3-2 over Wagner). Sophomore Sarah Donovan (Storrs, Conn.) is second on the team in points with six, registering two goals and two assists, scoring the game-tying goal at Stony Brook earlier this year. Brooke Duchaney (1g, 2a) is tied for second on the team with four points along with junior Alex DiPippo (Shelton, Conn.).  Freshman Kalie Whitehouse (Braintree, Mass.) recorded her first career goal in a loss at Northeastern. The underclassmen have accounted for 19 of the 33 total points thus far this season for the Bulldogs.
