All of a sudden Brown is a contender? This is likely the ECAC Coach of the Year story as well as a possible ECAC top goalie story, wouldn't you say? Not bad for a rookie coach and a sophomore goalie. So, is it first year coach Roger Grillo's system .. or is the stellar goaltending from sophomore Scott Stirling. Ever since Stirling replaced Holowaty in that Northeastern game (a loss), Brown has been on a tear ... losing only a close one to #6 Yale. This Damian Prescott senior has been on fire but Brown also seems to be getting quite a boost lately from Hoiness and Lawler. Is Prescott a sniper? Who's his playmaker if he has one? What is Brown's game? Defense, fast break, rough-n-tumble??? How well will it match up against Clarkson this weekend. Brown has outscored its opponents 29-13 in last seven games (28-1- excluding 3-1 loss to Yale). If Brown gets by Clarkson, they could finish with a 7 game winning streak, home ice, a TUC, good last 20, great record against TUC. They won't get any more than 4 or 5 PWR but hell, that's quite a ride for a 12th place team from last year.
