Kimberly Cunniff (Walpole, Mass.) and Jess Rusin (Garwood, N.J.) both scored their team-leading eighth goals of the season but the Quinnipiac field hockey team lost to Brown, 3-2, in non-conference play. Quinnipiac drops to 6-5 on the season while Brown improves to 2-8.

Cunniff put Quinnipiac on the board just under nine minutes into the game when she beat Brown's Shannon McSweeney with a direct shot off a corner. Ashley Gradwell (Fogelsville, Pa.) took the corner and found Megan McCreedy at the top of the circle to set up Cunniff. McCreedy's assist was her team-leading eighth of the season.
