The Georgetown Hoyas defeated Brown 17-3 under sunny skies before a crowd of 2,262 at Multi-Sport Field on Sept. 20 to even their season record at 2-2. It was also the 50th Anniversary of the return of football to the Hilltop and marked the Hoyas’ first victory ever against the Bears and a major reversal from their 45-7 loss to Brown a year ago. It was also the second win for new Head Coach Rob Sgarlata. It was the season opener for the Brown squad, which suffered four turnovers including a critical fumble on the Georgetown two yard line early in second quarter. Hoyas quarterback Kyle Nolan passed for one touchdown and running back Daniel Wright accounted for the other. The Hoyas rushed for 250 yards while holding Brown to only 88. Kicker Henry Darmstadter scored career-long 44-yard field goal for the Hoyas.
