Women’s Soccer Falls to Brown, 3-2

PROVIDENCE, R.I. – The Yale women's soccer team fell to Brown, 3-2, on Saturday afternoon at Stevenson-Pincince Field in a match that featured three Olympico goals.
 
Jael-Marie Guy scored twice directly off corner kicks for the Bears, while Alex Chang scored an Olympico of her own for the Bulldogs. Brown took the lead in the 76th minute on a goal from Joy Okonye, and Anita Thorvaldsdottir cut the deficit to one two minutes later, but the Bears held on to secure the win despite playing with 10 players for the majority of the match following an early red card.
 
With the victory, Brown improved to 8-2-2 (2-0-1 Ivy), and Yale dropped to 5-7-0 (0-3-0 Ivy).  

"Disappointing goals to give up today," said Sarah Martinez, the Loring Family Head Coach of Women's Soccer. "We've got to find ways to get results in our next games and they don't get easier."

"We'll reflect on this one and prepare for a very good Harvard group next weekend," added Martinez.
