Scouting the Bears
Brown enters Thursday's game with a 1-3-0 overall record, with its most recent loss coming against Villanova (1-0) on Sept. 2. The Bears' lone win this season came against Sacred Heart (1-0) on Aug. 31. Each of Brown's first four games finished with a score of 1-0, its other two losses came against Pepperdine and UC Santa Barbara to start the season. Brown was predicted to finish third in the Ivy League Preseason Media Poll behind Princeton and Columbia. Last season, the Bears earned their most wins in a season since 2000, with an 11-5 record. The Friars' offense will face a tough test against senior goalkeeper, Christine Etzel, who is ranked third on Brown's career shutouts list, with 19. She is also listed fourth on Brown's career wins list (27) and 10th on Brown's career saves list (209). A 2017 First-Team All-Ivy League member last season, Abby Carchio leads the team with two points on one goal this season.
Duke Nike Classic
The Friars came away from the Duke Nike Classic with a strong showing in Durham, N.C. Providence fell short of an upset dropping game one to No. 3 North Carolina, 1-0. Shelby Hogan (Franklin, Mass.) tallied a season-high seven saves and only gave up a single goal to one of the most efficient offenses in the country. The game-winning goal came in the 40th minute off a shot from Alessia Russo five yards outside the 18-yard box. The ball rebounded off Hogan and was finished by Julia Ashley.
Their final game in the tournament against No. 12 Duke was another battle. The Blue Devils gained a 2-0 advantage in a 15 minute span in the first half. The Friars battled back with a late goal in the 76th minute by Casey Estey (Kensington, N.H.), but Providence could not convert their lone scoring opportunity for the remainder of the game off a corner kick in the 83rd minute. Hogan had another impressive game, holding No. 12 Duke to just two goals with three saves.
Hailee Duserick (Canton, Mass.) and Hogan were named to 2018 Duke Nike Classic All-Tournament Team. Hannah McNulty's (Warwick, R.I.) assist and Estey's goal have tied them for the team lead in points (four).
Friars' Hot Start
Providence started the season 3-0 for the first time since the 2015 season, outshooting their opponents 41-17 over the course of the three games. Hogan recorded three-consecutive shutouts for the third time in her career, giving her 10 career shutouts as a sophomore. The Friars' three wins came over Holy Cross (2-0), Fairleigh Dickinson (1-0) and Hartford (2-0). Five different players have scored a goal for the Friars. All-BIG EAST First Team member in 2017 and Preseason All-BIG EAST member, Katie Day (East Kingston, N.H.), led the back line for the Friars, who did not give up a goal in 310 minutes to start the season.
Birchwell Starts Strong
Amber Birchwell (Mastic, N.Y.) picked up three points for the Friars in her season debut against Hartford (Aug. 23). Birchwell tallied a goal and an assist, as she proved to be Providence's main offensive threat. Her success led her to be named to the BIG EAST Weekly Honor Roll (8/27).

Goalkeeper Shelby Hogan (Franklin, Mass.) earned the Friars' lone major award as a co-recipient of BIG EAST Freshman of the Year.
