Etzel Posts Shutout, Brown Women’s Soccer Plays Bryant to 0-0 Draw

PROVIDENCE, Rhode Island – Freshman goalkeeper Christine Etzel notched her third shutout of the season as Brown University women's soccer played to a 0-0 draw for the second time in as many outings, tying Bryant University on Wednesday night at Stevenson Field.

The Bears (3-4-2) controlled play against the Bulldogs (0-8-2), holding advantages in shots (31-10), shots on goal (10-3), and corner kicks (13-3), but neither side could find the back of the net in the 110-minute, double-overtime affair.

"I thought we controlled the overtime. From the opening 15 minutes, we just didn't have the intensity that we had against Dartmouth, but it got better," 39th-year head coach Phil Pincince said. "I thought in the overtimes – the two 10s –that's where we should have been from the beginning. It gradually got better and better."

Brown increased its pressure in the 20 minutes of overtime, recording eight shots, two shots on goal, and eight corner kicks in the extra sessions while not allowing Bryant to tally a shot or a corner.
Etzel (Madison, Conn.) made three saves in her second straight shutout while Brown's back four of sophomores Maclaine Lehan (Shrewsbury, Mass.) and Sarah Cobb (North Tustin, Calif.) and freshmen Megan Grant (Carlsbad, Calif.) and Nicole Phillips (Rolling Hills Estates, Calif.) contributed to the clean sheet.

Bryant net-minder Kaylan Conrad stopped 10 shots, including a penalty kick, in her first shutout of the season.

Junior Charlotte Beach (New Haven, Conn.), who totaled a game-high six shots, nearly broke the deadlock in the 100th minute as she drove a shot from the edge of the box, which ricocheted squarely off the left post.

In the 109th minute, sophomore Mikela Waldman (San Francisco, Calif.) fired a shot on target as Conrad just managed to parry the ball away from the frame.

Brown remains undefeated against Bryant, claiming a 6-0-2 record in the all-time series.

Next, Brown returns to Ivy League play at Columbia University on Saturday at 4 p.m.
