Box Score PROVIDENCE, R.I. – The Big Red field hockey team saw its six-game winning streak come to an end this afternoon in heartbreaking fashion, as it fell to Brown, 4-3 in double overtime in Providence, R.I. Cornell (7-7, 3-2 Ivy) completely dominated the flow of play, but ran into a hot goalkeeper, Shannon McSweeney, who made 14 saves, eight of which came in the two overtime sessions, and included a save on a penalty stroke.

In addition to McSweeney's 14 saves, two Brown field players registered defensive saves and the Big Red hit at least one post. Even worse, it was a Cornell own-goal gave the Bears a 2-1 advantage heading into halftime.

Brown (4-9, 1-3) which only managed three shots in the entire overtime, compared to Cornell's 12 shots during the extra sessions, scored in the 94th minute of play when Haley Alvarez collected a rebound off a Carolyn Horner save and roofed it into the upper corner of the Cornell goal.

Horner finished the game with four saves.

The game started with a bang for Cornell, as Hannah Balleza got the visitors on the board in the 10th minute of the contest, off a pass from Kat DiPastina, who crossed the ball from the right side of the net.

Just under four minutes later, Brown's Hannah Rogers answered when she intercepted a pass deep in Big Red territory and beat Horner to the far post.

The Cornell own goal sent the teams into the break with Brown leading, 2-1, and the Bears made it a 3-1 game early in the second half when Meghan O'Donnell scored off a pass from Alexis Miller.

Balleza ended the Cornell drought with an unassisted goal at the 43:27 mark and an unassisted goal by Elly Plappert knotted the game at 3-3 with just under 18 minutes to play in the contest.

The Big Red turned up the offensive pressure in the final moments, but McSweeney was up to the task, making three saves in the final six minutes of regulation and the teams went into overtime.

Cornell led Brown in shots (25-14) and penalty corners (12-8).

The Big Red will look to rebound next weekend with a pair of home games as it welcomes Princeton and Holy Cross to Marsha Dodson Field. Cornell will face the Tigers on Saturday, Oct. 27 at noon, before taking on the Crusaders on Sunday, Oct. 28 at 2 p.m.
