SERIES HISTORY VS. BROWN: The Cornell and Brown rivalry began when the Bears joined the Ivy League in men s lacrosse in The Big Red came away with an 8-7 victory in that first meeting, and won 23 of the first 28 games between the two programs. The Bears won eight-straight contests vs. Cornell from 1991 to 1997 to gain some ground in the series, which Cornell leads, Since snapping that Brown winning streak with a 6-5 decision in 1998, the series has been very tight, despite Cornell s 13-7 record over that time. Of the last 20 meetings, 10 have been decided by three or fewer goals. LOOKING AT THE BEARS: Brown improved to 6-5 on the season with a midweek double overtime victory over Providence to claim the Ocean State Cup. The Bears feature a highpower offense that has reached double-digit goals in all 11 games this season. The team is led by the reigning Tewaaraton Trophy winner, Dylan Molloy, who has team-highs in points (56), goals (34) and assists (22). In total, eight Bears have reached double-digit points on the year, including senior long pole midfielder Larken Kemp, who is the second highest scoring long pole in NCAA Division I history. Brown ranks 10th in the nation in face-offs, thanks to Ted Ottens, who ranks 11th nationally (198-of-330;.600). Ottens is also ninth in the nation in ground balls per game (7.55 per game). In goal, freshman Phil Goss leads the nation with saves per game, but has posted a goals-against average and a.505 save percentage. A WIN OVER BROWN WOULD: snap a two-game winning streak by the Bears. keep the Big Red in top three of the Ivy League standings. improve Cornell to all-time in the series and even Coach Kerwick s record at 2-2. be the 746th win in program history. make Cornell all-time when unranked in the USILA Coaches Poll. improve Cornell to all-time vs. unranked teams.

3 Last Meeting No. 3 Brown 22, Cornell 5 April 23, 2016 Schoellkopf Field Ithaca, N.Y. ITHACA, N.Y. No. 3 Brown scored three times in the first 3:19 and jumped out to a 7-1 lead on its way to a 22-5 victory over Cornell at Schoellkopf Field. We ran into everything as advertised today, said Matt Kerwick, the Richard M. Moran Head Coach of Lacrosse. Brown was making plays all over the field. I gotta give them credit. They put us on our heels early and unfortunately we couldn t dig out of it. I thought we could have possible dug out a little bit in that second quarter once we settled in and started getting some defensive stops, but to their credit they ran all over us. Senior goalkeeper Brennan Donville did his part to try and keep the Big Red in the game with a career-best 16 saves, but the high-octane Brown offense, coupled with a swarming pressure defense that forced 21 Cornell turnovers, allowed the visitors to claim their second straight victory in the series. Dylan Molloy had six points (three goals, three assists) as he continues his quest for the NCAA single-season scoring record, while Kylor Bellistri had six points (four goals, two assists), Henry Blynn had five (three goals, two assists) and Brendan Caputo notched four (three goals, one assist) to lead the Brown offense. Molloy added five ground balls and caused three turnovers and Jack Kelly had 12 saves and allowed just five goals to pick up the win in goal. Cornell s John Edmonds became the 41st player in school history to reach 100 career points with his fourth quarter assist on Senior Day. Kason Tarbell was the lone multi-point scorer for the Big Red with a pair of goals, while Tony Britton had a pair of caused turnovers and six ground balls. NOTES TO KNOW Brown s 22 goals are the most scored by either team in the history of the series, besting the 20 goals scored by Cornell in 1970 as the Big Red won, The 22 goals are the most scored at Schoellkopf Field since Cornell registered 23 goals vs. Canisius in It was just the 19th time in Cornell history that an opponent has scored more than 20 goals in a game, and the first since a loss to Maryland in Cornell s man-down defense had killed off 12 consecutive penalties before allowing a Brown man-up goal on their second chance of the day with 3:54 to play in the third quarter.

The previous low had been one shot, last done by Penn in the fourth quarter of a Big Red victory on March 24, SAVE STREAK: Christian Knight opened the 2017 season by registering at least 10 saves in six games, and in seven consecutive games dating back to the 2015 season finale.
