Brown 2nd XV 12 Columbia 0

Saturday, September 24, 2011

A still shocked Brown team took the field in the 2nd XV match for two 15 minute halves before the Bears made the long drive to Cornell that night.

In the 7th minute, after regular pressure in the Columbia half Blair Cameron’13 missed a drop goal attempt, but Brown kept the pressure on and kept the ball in Columbia territory.  Unfortunately Louis Solmonson ‘13 was injured with a ankle sprain in the 9th minute and was forced to leave the game.

Following a Brown line out at the Columbia 5 meter line just before halftime (13th minute), Andrew Alvarez ‘11 picked the ball and plowed into the try zone.  Cameron missed the conversion. (5-0 Brown)

The second half saw some great play from a number of the Brown players as Brown kept the pressure on until 25th minute when Brent Zajaczkowski ‘12 made a strong individual run from outside the Columbia 22 line that ended with him dragging a few players in to the tryzone at the corner flag.  A brilliant conversion from the sideline by Cameron’13 sealed the fate and closed out the scoring with Brown winning 12 to 0.
