Brown's Erik Estienne was a standout player, scoring two tries at crucial moments of the match, first at 18:30 and then later at 53:00, along with leading by example and matching AIC's physicality on both sides of the ball. Malcolm Grant successfully converted one of Estienne's tries and added to the team’s lead by scoring two penalty goals at 23:30 and 30:00. Brown's defensive line held strong, effectively managing the physical play style of the Yellow Jackets, which are well known for their aggressive tactics.

Reflecting on the team's performance, Coach Ryan Grant highlighted the challenges faced due to the absence of substitutes. He praised the team for controlling the game, executing their attacking system, and maintaining a high level of play throughout the match. Coach Grant expressed pride in his team's ability to complete tackles and manage the game under pressure.

Looking forward, Brown Men's Rugby B-side will face the Fordham University Rams B's on October 18, 2025, during family weekend, at Brown University’s Berylson Family Fields in Providence, Rhode Island. The team currently holds a record of 4-1 for the season.
