WHAT YOU NEED TO KNOW...
COLUMBIA'S STATUS
The Lions fell twice last weekend - a 5-0 defeat at Cornell followed by a 3-0 loss at No. 11 Syracuse. Columbia will be in search of its first Ivy League win of the year Saturday and try to snap a string of 122:51 without a goal.
BROWN'S STATUS
The Bears have had an up and down start to their season. Brown won its first three contests, before dropping five-straight and come into Saturday's matchup after back-to-back wins over Dartmouth and Holy Cross. Daneille van Rootselaar is Brown's top scoring threat with eight goals and three assists for 19 points. Jodie Brine started the team's first eight games in net, but Ella Edmonds and Calista Manuzza have split the duties the last two contests.
INSIDE THE SERIES
Columbia is 13-10 all-time against Brown and have won three in a row and 13 of the last 14 meetings. In 2019, the Lions earned a 4-2 win at home. Allison Smith scored a pair of goals, as did van Rootselaar, and Alexa Conomikes made five saves in the victory.
