The Derby

We headed into our second match of the season full of confidence after our win 

against Quinnipiac. We left Brown around 5 to make the short drive to Providence 

College. The atmosphere on the bus was great, as everyone believed we could beat 

the 18th ranked team in the country. 



The stands were full of both Brown and Providence supporters as the game started. 

We had the better of the play for the first 10-15 minutes, and then Providence 

controlled much of the rest of the first half. The score was still locked at zero at 

halftime. 


The second half started and we came out playing very well. We were rewarded for 

our fast start with an early goal in the second half; Nico Lozada sent in a good cross 

into the box, and a Providence defender turned the ball into his own net. A few 

minutes later Providence equalized with a nice volley. We responded well, 

dominating much of the second half. We hit the post twice in the waning minutes, 

but the 90 minutes ended at 1-1. 


It only took Brown 7 minutes to find the net and end the match. Freshman Jack 

Hagstrom battled for the ball in the box after a long throw, and nailed a shot into the 

right corner. We were ecstatic to get the win against a top opponent. The team spirit 

was great after starting the season 2-0.
