PROVIDENCE, R.I. -- No. 13 ranked Brown University jumped out to a 4-0 lead and later outscored the University of Delaware 9-1 over another stretch as the Blue Hens dropped a 13-5 men's lacrosse decision Saturday afternoon.

Delaware (3-7), coming off a 9-5 win over Lehigh Tuesday that snapped a four-game losing streak, fell behind 4-0 in the first quarter, trailed 8-3 at the break, and never could gain the lead as they fell to the Bears for the second straight year.

Brown (7-1), the Hens' third top 20 opponent this season, won its sixth straight game as the Bears outshot the Hens 45-33 and held a 34-23 advantage in groundballs. Thomas Muldoon scored four goals, Andrew Feinberg scored twice and dished out an assist, and Kyle Hollingsworth and Reade Seligman each had a goal and three assists for Brown. Goalkeeper Jordan Burke posted 13 saves and allowed just three goals.

No Blue Hen player scored more than one goal as Kevin Kaminski, Curtis Dickson, Mark Steverson, Martin Cahill, and Carter Bloor each scored. Goalkeeper Noah Fossner recorded 12 saves to post his fourth straight double-figure save total.
