THE MATCHUPBrown brings one of the nation’s top defenses, ranking second in the NCAA in GAA (0.32), second in goals allowed (six), and third in save percentage (.906), into Talla-hassee, Fla., to take on the defending national champions. Florida State earned a No. 1 seed in the NCAA tournament for the second straight year and has posted a 45-1-1 record all-time at home in NCAA play. The Bears feature the Ivy League Rookie of the Year – freshman Brittany Raphino (Randolph, Mass.) – as well as Ivy League Coach of the Year Kia McNeill while the Seminoles feature the ACC Offensive Player of the Year (Deyna Castellanos) and ACC Defensive Player of the Year (Malia Berkely).

PK SHOOTOUTJunior goalkeeper Kayla Thompson (Austin, Texas) made six saves in regulation then stopped two shots in the penalty kick shootout as No. 16 Brown topped Mon-mouth University in penalty kicks, 4-1, to advance to the second round of the 2019 NCAA Division I Women’s Soccer Championship. In a matchup featuring the top two teams in the nation in fewest goals allowed, the Bears and Hawks played to a 0-0 draw through double overtime before the hosts converted four straight penalty kicks and denied the visitors on two of their three attempts on Saturday, Nov. 16 at Stevenson-Pincince Field in the first round of the NCAA tournament. Seniors Abby Carchio (Lakeville, Mass.) and Celia Story (Bainbridge Island, Wash.) and freshmen Ava Seelenfreund (Truckee, Calif.) and Brittany Raphino (Randolph, Mass.) all made penalty kicks for the Bears.

Carchio and Raphino both converted penalties for the Bears during the regular season. Excluding shootout penalties, Carchio is 3-for-3 in her career on penalties, and Story is 2-for-2.

THE BIG DANCEBrown is in the midst of its seventh all-time appearance in the NCAA Championship and first since 1994.

The Bears have posted a 2-6-1 record all-time in the NCAA tournament with their last win coming in a 2-1 decision over Dartmouth on Nov. 9, 1994.

IVY LEAGUE CHAMPIONSWith its 1-0 (2OT) win over Penn (Nov. 2), Brown clinched its 13th Ivy League title all-time and first conference crown since 1994. The Bears’ 13 league titles are tied for the most conference championships in Ancient Eight history. With its 1-1 (2OT) draw at Yale (Nov. 9), Brown secured an undefeated Ivy League season (6-0-1) and its 10th outright Ivy title all-time. Brown’s previous 12 Ivy titles came in 1980, 1982, 1983, 1984, 1985, 1986, 1987, 1988, 1989, 1990, 1992, and 1994.

KIA MCNEILL: IVY COACH OF THE YEARBrown head coach Kia McNeill unanimously won Ivy League Coach of the Year hon-ors, giving Brown its first Ivy League Coach of the Year in women’s soccer since the award began in 2014. She has led the Bears to their first Ivy League title and NCAA appearance since 1994. In 2019, Brown has posted an overall record of 14-1-3, setting a program record for wins in a season.

The Bears posted six Ivy wins – tied for the most in a year in team history – for the seventh time in program history and for the first time since 1994. Brown’s 2019 record marks the sixth time in program history that the Bears have posted 12 or more wins.

HOME SWEET HOMEFreshmen Ava Seelenfreund (Truckee, Calif.) and Brittany Raphino (Randolph, Mass.) have paced the Bears in home contests this season. Seelenfreund has posted 12 points on four goals and four assists while Raphino has registered 10 points on four goals and two assists.

Senior Abby Carchio (Lakeville, Mass.) tallied a team-high four assists on the road. Junior goalkeeper Kayla Thompson (Austin, Texas) played all 580 minutes on the road, notching a 0.62 GAA and .862 save percentage.

DOUBLE-FIGURE WINSBrown has now posted 10 or more wins in two of the last three seasons. The 2019 team’s double-figure win total marks the 16th double-digit win season in program history. The Bears have registered a record of .500 or above in each of the last five seasons (2015-19), marking the longest such streak in program history since Brown posted a record of .500 or better in 15 straight seasons from 1976-90.

TRENDSThe Bears have generated a number of positive trends this season. When scoring first, Brown is 14-0-1. When leading at halftime, Brown is 10-0-1, and when tied at halftime, Brown is 4-0-2. In one-goal games, the Bears are 6-1-0, and in games decided by two or more goals the Bears are 8-0-0. Brown is 6-0-2 on Saturdays this season and has posted an 8-0-2 mark in its last 10 games. The Bears have gone 7-0-2 in the months of October and November.

STRONG STARTWith a 6-0-1 record through its first seven games, Brown got off to its best undefeated start to a season since starting the 2000 season with a 9-0-0 record. It marked just the fifth time in program history that the Bears registered an undefeated record through seven games, joining the teams from 2000 (9-0-0), 1984 (13-0-1), 1977 (9-0-0), and 1976 (7-0-0). That stretch included the second-longest shutout streak in program his-tory as the Bears recorded six consecutive clean sheets, trailing only the 1984 team’s 10 straight clean sheets.

THOMPSON STANDS TALLFirst Team All-Ivy junior goalkeeper Kayla Thompson (Austin, Texas) ranks fourth in the nation in save percentage (.911) and sixth in GAA (0.34), while pacing the Ivy League in shutouts (nine), save percentage (.911), and GAA (0.34). In Ivy play, Thomp-son led the conference in save percentage (.867), GAA (0.538), and shutouts (four). Her nine shutouts rank tied for third in a single season in school history. She tied her career-high with six saves in regulation then stopped two penalty kicks in the shootout against Monmouth (Nov. 16). She has made a season-high six saves on two other occasions this season – in a 0-0 (2OT) draw at Texas A&M (Sept. 8) and in a 1-1 (2OT) draw against Yale (Nov. 9).
