She was a big threat for Colgate on penalty corners and scored two goals and added three assists for seven points this year.

Brown earned academic honors for the first time in her career. She has been named to the Patriot League Honor Roll twice and is a Raider Honor Roll recipient as well. Brown has become a force in the Patriot League for the Raiders as she is a two-time first team All-Patriot League selection. This season she scored 10 goals and added three helpers for a career-high 23 points.
