Calling a timeout after the Crimson went up 2-0, the Bears came out of the break looking like a new team.
Brown dominated the final 20 minutes of the first and could have scored on several golden opportunities if wasn't for the netminding of Cowan.
Literally saving the day for the Crimson, Cowan registered 18 saves and allowed only two goals against the Ivy League's highest-scoring offense.
"I've played with Anya for three years," Kalil said. "And this was the best I've ever seen her play. She knows how to keep her head when the game gets hot and she did a great job of organizing the defense."
Cowan lead the Ivy League this season with a save percentage of .843 and was named Ivy League player of the week in late September.
However, Cowan's performance against Brown was even better than the numbers would suggest. Cowan kept the team in the game as Brown dominated the overtime period, and as she has all season, made the big saves when she needed to the most.
Despite Cowan's valiant effort, Brown slowly battled back for a 2-0 deficit.
