1st XV Brown Holds On to Defeat Princeton
Brown played well to score three first half tries against a physical Princeton side, but were unlucky not to put over another two tries when the Bears misfired close to the goal line. As was the case the day before against Penn, a strong wind was a big factor. Brown shut out Princeton with the wind, but the 19 point cushion was tested when the second half ensued.
Harvard Women 2nd XV 15 - Brown 7
The Brown B's got their first official Ivy match under their belts playing a Harvard side that included a number of players from Harvard's first side. Browns defense was inspiring as the 'rookies' flew around the field bringing down one Harvard jersey after another. The Harvard fullback escaped a few too many times but the young Brown team showed moments of great teamwork.
