HOW IT HAPPENED

USC outshot Brown, 29-14, including a 20-4 edge in the first half alone. The Trojans dominated the center circle to the tune of a 15-4 edge in draw controls and beat the Bears to ground balls by a 19-12 margin. In transition, both teams were successful on all but two clear attempts. USC was 16-for-18 and Brown was 20-for-22.
The Trojans came out of the gate firing on all cylinders and won the first three draws to take a 3-0 lead on goals from Robinson, Bunting, and Fravert. Silwkowski responded with back-to-back unassisted goals to cut the USC lead to 3-2 at the end of the opening quarter.
Silwkowski scored the first goal of the second quarter to equalize at three-all but Robinson (12:52) and Fravert (11:52) scored back-to-back goals one minute apart to push the Trojans in front, 5-3. Brown trimmed the lead to one with a goal from Bae Bounds, but Vivian Leuthold and Sydney Stewart scored two more under the three-minute mark to send the Trojans to the break with a three-goal lead, 7-4.
A methodical Brown attack pulled the Bears even at seven-all with 1:11 to play in the third. Marley Wright scored at the 10:27 mark and then Peterson had each of her goals at 2:56 and 1:11. Off the next draw, Fravert took a feed from Bunting to score in just 15 seconds to put USC ahead, 8-7, heading into the fourth.
After nearly six minutes of scoreless lacrosse, Brown tied the score once more at eight-all on Silwkowski's final goal. The teams went back and forth until May went to the line for a free-position attempt with 5:04 to play and found the back of the cage for what would hold up as the game winner. DeJarnette won the next draw and the teams traded barbs before the Trojan defense held on to close out the 9-8 win.
