EASTON, Pa.- No. 17 Lafayette field hockey improved to a 14-2 overall record in a non-conference break against Brown, 2-1, on Sunday afternoon at Rappolt Field. The Leopards have a five-game win streak and remain undefeated at home, 9-0, this season.

Lena Thedrian tallied the first goal of the game in the second period (17:56) during a penalty corner. Olivia Krey and Katie Gibb assisted her at stick-stop and inserter, respectively.

Brown secured the tying goal at the 50-minute mark in the final quarter, using a rebound shot by Grace Almeida in a scrum in front of the cage.

Three minutes later, Lafayette's Linda Nova found herself a free reverse shot on the far-left side of the circle. Naomi George was waiting by the keeper's pads and deflected Nova's shot into the net at 53:13 for a 2-1 outcome.

The Maroon and White held the advantage in total shots (15-13) and penalty corners (7-6).

Lafayette's junior goalkeeper Addison Kahn made six saves in the victory. Her Bear counterpart, Ellie Parker, made seven stops.

Next up, Lafayette hosts Boston U. in the regular-season finale on Friday at 6 p.m. The contest will benefit the American Heart Association. The Leopards (14-2, 5-0 PL) have clinched at least a share of the Patriot League regular-season title and a berth in the conference championship, which runs through Nov. 5-7.
