Rhode Island 2, Brown 0
The Brown Bears lost their second consecutive game last Sunday when travelling Rhode Island handed them a 2-0 defeat.
After 72 minutes of scoreless action, Erica Young, upon collecting a pass from Heather Kasperek, lofted the ball over Brown's goaltender Sarah Gevais and into the net. It was Young's third goal of the season.
Brown tried to stage a comeback with some spirited play, but the game was sealed in the 87th minute when Gina Rosen cannoned the ball from 25 yards out into the upper left corner of the net. Brown actually outshot Providence with 17 shots on goal to Providence's 16, but their finishing was lackluster.

Harvard 3, Yale 1
The Crimson continued their six-game unbeaten streak on Saturday afternoon on Ohiri field as they thrashed rival Yale.

Harvard plays Boston University at home today while Yale takes on top-ranked Notre Dame.
Stony Brook 2, Cornell 1
After an almost uneventful and scoreless first half, the Stony Brook Seawolves scored once in the second and once in extra time to give Cornell its second consecutive 2-1 loss.
Cornell dominated during most of the second half and even after Stony Brook junior Kerri McCabe found the upper right corner of the net at 45:44, they fought on and tied the game on the 71st minute.
The game moved to extra time, and after some tense action, the game was wrapped up in sensational fashion in the 93rd minute when Stony Brook's Beth Arikian scored from a free-kick 35 yards out.
The Big Red play Brown Saturday.
Penn 2, Columbia 1
A stirring performance in the second half saw the Pennsylvania Quakers pull a goal back and add a winner against travelling Columbia for their second Ivy League win of the year.
The Columbia Lions scored their goal midway through the first half when Erica Woda headed the ball past goalkeeper Kathie Hunt.
But the second half was a completely different story. Penn outshot Columbia 12 to two and first scored through Angela Konstantaras and then added the winner from Heather Taylor.
Princeton 1, BU 0
