A couple of interesting things about today's matchup. Brown is unranked at 6-0, but has received votes in the media top 20 poll. Also, Cali Castagnola leads the MPSF conference in goals with 21. I'll see if I can do play-by-play, but I'm not positive. Also, there may be live stats for today's match but don't have a link yet. There is live video and the link is in the first post.

Brown leads 9-0 at the half. In case you were wondering, it was as bad as it seems. Brown controlled the ball for most of the half with very few chances for the Buffs. Brown is definitely playing like an experienced undefeated team.
