    a try Mday agast Bryat.Weve been in some pretty

    heated games, said Head Coach

    Jesse Agel. We played two or threegames where we had the lead in theast tw r thr muts. Payghard is one thing, but winning isathr.

    Bruno kicked o the break withur -agu mathups, agt Ma 7-5, St. Fras 66-4,

    A week later, the Bulldogs trav-eled to the Pizzitola Center or a

    second hal to come away with the7-60 w.

    are battling, Agel said. We havehad to persevere through someunortunate injuries, but its beengreat seeing some guys step up and rs.

    Te Bears have seen their num-bers so slimmed that Agel acceptedtwo walk-ons to the team: elle

    Lundevall 13 and Patrick Don-nelly 13. Both are members o thetba tam Luda a wdreceiver, Donnelly a quarterback

    with no experience in collegiatebasketball. Te duo has been quickt pk up th tams s addeensive schemes, and in the seven

    For the nal 10 games o theseason, Brown will only be ac-

    ing other ECAC opponents, alljostling or one o the top eightpositions to guarantee at least onehm gam th pst-sas.

    As the team goes up againstDartmuth (--2) ad Harard(4-6-8) this weekend on the road,it will be ghting or a better spotin the standings. Brown is cur-

    Coming out o the (United StatesHockey League), you have a lot ooptions. Its a pretty highly-touted

    league, with all the NHL dra picks.

    And since I was on the All-Star team,I had a lot o options. I could chooserm a t shs. I was mmt-td t (th) Ar Fr r a wh Air Force Academy, or like a year and then I de-committed to come

    to Brown. Because thats just a waybttr t r m. I ddt wat t dthe military liestyle I did or a

    little, and then I just reconsidered,ad I ddt wat t d t. S whI de-committed, I was looking or

    We have high expectations,

    gs a hampshp, ad w adenitely win the ECAC Champion-ship this year. We have beaten all thetop teams Union, Cornell. All theguys that are one, two or three, wevebat a thm. S w dtyhave what it takes to get there. Wejust have to play more consistently.
