First-year Elizabeth Reeve (C-San Diego, Calif.) scored her fourth goal of the season on a pass from sophomore (C-Cornville, Maine). Courtney Robinson (C-Ardmore,Pa.) moved a beautiful pass to a waiting Merrill at midfield. Merrill passed to Reeve, who was positioned just inside the circle, and Reeve muscled a hard shot through the goalie's legs to give the Lions a 1-0 lead in the 31st minute.
Behind six saves by sophomore keeper Kristina George (C-Encinitas, Calif.), the Lions led 1-0 at the half.
Brown fired out at the start of the second period and scored the equalizer with just over 19 minutes left to play. Tess Belmont deflected a shot from Tracy Dungo up and over the head of George to knot the score at 1-1. With just a minute left to play, the Bears got a corner and Kristen Vincent slapped a hard shot to the goalie's leg-side for the score.
George finished with 10 saves in 70 minutes, while Kristen Hodavance totaled six saves for the Bears.
Reeve now has four goals and three assists for 11 points to lead all Lions this season. The 11 points marks the most points by a Lion since the at least the 2002 season.
The Lions return to action on Friday when they travel to Penn for a 7 p.m. match-up.
