Penn field hockey shuts out Brown, 2-0 October 31, 2004

For the last time in recent history, Penn field hockey won the Ivy League title. Well, they ended up sharing it with Harvard.

Though the title was clinched a week later in a win over Princeton, a shutout of Brown on Halloween of 2004 was key in getting the Quakers the championship.

The 2-0 win was their sixth shutout in a row (a school record), their eighth shutout of the season and their seventh win in a row.

The mediocre Bears, who came into the game 5-9 overall, 2-4 in Ivy play, were unable to keep up with this Quakers team.

Penn scored a goal in each half and allowed only one shot on goal, which did not find the back of the cage. The Red and Blue had eight shot attempts that game.

The two goals came from seniors Liz Lorelli — a first-team All-Ivy selection in her junior and senior campaigns — and Jessica Kaylor.

The Quakers got started early in this contest.

The first goal came only nine minutes into the first half on a shot from Kaylor.

Toward the end of the second half, Lorrelli knocked a shot into the back of the net on a pass from junior midfielder Lea Salese.

The Red and Blue were just one step away from the title and ultimately finished the season 13-4, 6-1 Ivy.
