In another impressive showing, the Crimson (4-5, 2-1 Ivy) defeated the Bears (2-7, 0-3 Ivy), 2-0, at Warner Roof, thanks to timely offense and stalwart goaltending. “Like with any Ivy matchup, we were excited to go down to Providence to play,” said co-captain and goaltender Kylie Stone. “Every game is a big game within the league.” With only 14 seconds left in the first...
