Overtime.
"It went back and forth throughout the game," Benson said. "We jumped out to the lead midway through the game, but couldn't hold on. They just kept coming at us."
Brown continued to come at the Crimson in overtime. The Bears attacked, the Crimson crumped. And only minutes into the second overtime, the inevitable happened.
Brown hit paydirt.
Game, 7-6.
Alexander and Busquets had each scored two goals. Eric Grimes and Kim each scored one goal. And Ed Chin had 14 blocks shots and sore hands.
"It was a good game," Benson said. "It was tough for us because we've lost a couple of close games already this year, but Brown's a good team."
The Bears went on to beat Princeton in the final, 11-10, to take the Ancient Eight championship.
The Crimson went home happy with its play.
