The first of two goals in the game by Lasell junior attackman Louis Lucchetti made the halftime score, 5-2, in favor of the Pride.
Brown’s second goal of the game with 39 seconds on the clock accounted for the only goal of the third quarter, as SC led, 6-2.
Brown’s third goal came on an extra-man opportunity to put the Pride up, 7-2, with 14:13 to play in the game. Lucchetti’s second goal at the 2:33 mark, followed 26 seconds later by a tally by junior attackman Kyle Minaker, finished the game for the 7-4 final.
