Congratulations to the Brown women for beating Cornell 67-46 to earn the #4 seed for next weekend's Tournament.
The two teams ended up 7-7 on the season, but the Bears swept the season series against the Red.
Brown needed to win at Columbia and Cornell to make it in and the young team was able to sweep the difficult Empire State weekend.
They had three close loses to Penn, Princeton and Harvard in the last few weeks. They will be a tough matchup for any team that has to face them next week.

Frankly, with the Tigers and Crimson both slumping at the end of the season here, I think I fear the Bears the most next weekend. Penn will need to have their A game offensively on Saturday.

Brown women's team have secured a 2018 commitment from Traiva Breedlove from Our Lady of Mercy in Rochester. She is a 5' 8" combo guard who averaged 17.2 points, 7.1 rebounds and 4.1 assists last season. According to the Democrat & Chronicle paper, she chose Brown over Fordham, Stony Brook, Delaware, Niagara, Vermont and Central Connecticut.

According to a report at the New York Sportswriters Association website, Hanna Strawn, a 2018 guard from Binghamton who committed to Brown in the spring, recently changed her mind and decided to attend Monmouth.
