IVY LEAGUE CO-CHAMPION Brown finished third in the NCAA Division One Soccer Championship yesterday by defeating defending national champion Howard, 2-0, in the consolation game of the four-team national tournament.
San Francisco, a 2-1 overtime winner over the Bruins in the semi-finals Saturday, won the national championship yesterday by downing Southern Illinois-Edwardsville, 4-0, in the finals.
The Dons opened the scoring only six minutes into the game on a goal by Greg McKeown. Midway through the half, San Francisco iced the game when Paul Korn and Victor Arbeleaz booted home a pair of goals only 25 seconds apart.
Tournament MVP Andy Ateugbu closed the scoring for the Dons with a goal at 30:43 of the second half.
Brown just missed qualifying for the finals Saturday when San Francisco forward Mal Roche tapped in the winning shot after a scramble in front of the net at 6:43 of the third sudden-death overtime period.
Brown had sent the game into overtime when freshman Peter Van Deek tied the score at one-all on a close-range shot after a brilliant pass from Steve Milone.
Southern Illinois gained its berth in the finals by downing Howard, 3-1, in the other semifinal game Saturday.
IN SPORTS ACTION around the Ivy League this weekend, Brown came up with a pair of hockey wins, Penn romped to victory in basketball, Yale dropped one contest on the ice and another on the basketball court, and Cornell split two hockey games.
Penn bombed Navy, 93-74, Saturday night as five players scored double figures for the Quakers. John Engles, a 6-ft. 8-in. senior, shot 12 for 19 from the field and led all scorers with 26 points.
The Yale quintet lost its second game in threee tries Saturday night as UConn played a strong second half to prevail, 71-59. Steve Swishenko, a 6-ft. 3-in. senior, led Yale with 21 points, with captain Rollin Chippey adding 18.
Under new coach Ray Carazo, Yale managed to stay with UConn to knot the first half score at 31, but was outplayed badly in the second half.
In hockey action at Providence, Brown rode a hat trick by junior forward Bill Gilligan to a 7-2 victory over Colgate Saturday night. Tough work in the corners led to all three of the Bruins' first period goals, as the outcome of the game was never in doubt. Gilligan, last season's high scorer for the Bruins, now has five goals in three games.
Brown also won Friday night, upsetting highly-touted Cornell, 7-2, in the Ivy League opener for both schools.
The Yale hockey sextet suffered its fourth straight loss in as many starts as it fell to Cornell, 5-4, Saturday night. The Big Red broke a 3-3 tie with two goals in the third period before an Eli rally fell one goal short in the final minutes.
POST-SEASON HONORS for members of Harvard's Ivy champion football team kept flowing in over the weekend as several Crimson players earned berths on the New York Times All-East team and the coaches' All-Ivy team.
Quarterback Jim Kubacki, tackle Dan Jiggetts and safety Bill Emper struck gold twice, winning spots on both the Times' and the coaches' all-star squads. Tight end Bob McDermott was named to the Times team, while guard Kevin McCafferty and adjuster George Newhouse were selected by the coaches.
Crimson coach Joe Restic will be honored by the Touchdown Club of New York at their luncheon this Wednesday. Columbia's Doug Jackson will receive the Asa S. Bushnell Cup at the same luncheon.
BRUINS TIE CANADIENS
The Boston Bruins kept their 14-game unbeaten streak alive last night by tying the Montreal Canadiens 2-2.
Terry O'Reilly sent the Bruins out in front at 8:52 of the first period on the power play. Peter Mahovlich tied the game in the second before Johnny Bucyk put Boston out in front again in the third. Montreal's Guy LaFleur deadlocked the game at 13:00 of the final stanza.
