Julie Brown '09

Bates women’s soccer senior midfielder Julie Brown has turned up the heat in her offensive game recently, and the Bobcats have been the obvious beneficiaries.

Brown (Lynnfield, Mass.), one of three captains on the team, began her recent outburst on Oct. 4 against Connecticut College, when she scored one goal with one assist as the Bobcats beat the Camels 3-1 for their first NESCAC victory of the season. Brown followed with her first career hat trick in a 4-1 win over Southern Maine last week. (She even added another goal, the game-winner, and an assist in this week’s 3-2 win at Husson, giving her 5 goals and 2 assists in Bates’ past four games.)

Bates looks for victory No. 5 this season, and for its second NESCAC win, on Saturday at Middlebury. Game time is at 11 a.m.
