Brown led at halftime with a score of 14-5, benefiting from tries by Santiago Cortabarria and St John Smith, and two conversions from Isaac Frost. After Siena closed the gap with a penalty kick earlier in the second half, Raphael Lansonneur answered with a crucial penalty goal to keep it a two-score contest. Siena added another opportune penalty kick, keeping their hopes alive. With less than 10 minutes in the match, Joe Al-Hasso expanded Brown's lead with a try from a lineout maul, solidifying Brown's lead by 11 points, and effectively curbing Siena's hopes of a comeback.

Reflecting on the team's performance, Head Coach David LaFlamme expressed mixed feelings, acknowledging room for improvement.

"We had some poor execution in a few areas that we need to sort out this week,"

he noted.

"I think we left some points off the board because of this."

The game also highlighted an impressive debut from several of Brown's freshmen. Four freshmen—Brayden Wallace, St John Smith, Charm Tuala, and Marco Lapierre—started the match, showing promising prospects for Brown's rugby future. Freshmen Thomas Bouchard and Joe Ashford, also warranted roster selection this week.

Looking ahead, Brown Men's Rugby is set to face Syracuse University next week on September 14th at home on Marvel Field. Carrying a 1-0 record and valuable lessons from this match, Brown aims to continue their winning start to the season.
