Brown Dominates in Season Opener With Cornell
The varsity Brown women’s squad overwhelmed Cornell on Saturday, defeating their hosts 70-0 during Cornell’s homecoming weekend.
Brown was first to strike at the 3 minute mark, overturning a Cornell scrum at their defending 30m. Scrumhalf Mel Dincer '17 moved the ball to wing, Uzo Okoro '16 dotted the ball in the right corner for an opening score of 5-0.
Though tough and scrappy, Cornell never really found against Brown as scores from the Bears came rapidly due to the strength of the forwards and speed of the backs.
By half, the score was 33-0 Brown. The 2nd half saw an immediate score by fullback, Kiki Morgan '16 and a conversion kick by Becca Dahle '16 to start the scoring spree. By the final whistle the score stood at Brown 70-Cornell 0.
Brown Try Scorers: Uzo Okoro, Kiki Morgan, Becca Dahle, Oksana Goretaya, Beth Clifton, Lauren Oxendine, Tiara Mack
Conversions: Becca Dahle
Penalty Goals: Sofia Rudin, Becca Dahle
