Bears Win!

Brown 33 Princeton 24

The Brown Bears got back on the winning track today defeating the Princeton Tigers on Homecoming day at Brown University. Ivy League Offensive Player of the Week Michael Dougherty threw for 360 yards and 2 TD's to lead the offense while Ivy League Special Teams Player of the Week Steve Morgan booted four field goals while adding another league record to his impressive resume.

Dougherty hit WR Bobby Sewall (Portsmouth, RI) for his first TD of the game on a 12yd strike. He also connected with WR Buddy Farnham on a 43 yd TD in the 2nd quarter. Farnham finished with a team high 8 catches for 128 yards and 1 TD. Paul Raymond was next with 7 catches for 116 yards.

Morgan, who set the Ivy League record for career kicking points last week in the Bears' loss to Holy Cross added another record to his list of impressive accomplishments. His 3rd FG of the day from 22yds away gave him 46 for his career which is more than any other placekicker in league history. Morgan would add a 21yd Fg for his 47th career 3-pointer in th 4th quarter to seal the victory.

This was also a day for the Brown defense which had come off of two tough outings against URI and Holy Cross. The Bears D was stingy against the run yielding only 1 big play to Princeton - a 64 yd TD run by QB Bill Foran. For the rest of the game, the Tigers managed only 57 yards on 30 carries.

Brown evened it's Ivy League record to 1-1 with the victory and will travel to Ithaca, NY to take on the Big Red of Cornell next Saturday.
