SCHENECTADY, N.Y. -

Tyler Sheamade 50 saves, but the Brown men's ice hockey team (5-24-2) was defeated by No. 20 Union (22-10-3), 9-0, on Saturday evening at the M&T Bank Center. With the win, the fifth-seeded Garnet Chargers will advance in the ECAC playoffs to take on No. 4 Princeton.

Shea's 50 saves are the 31st time a Bears goalkeeper collected 50 or more saves and the most since Dan Rosen's 50 saves in a 1-1 tie at Harvard on Jan. 9, 2009.

Union controlled the pace early, but Shea kept the Bears within striking distance in the first period, yielding just one goal to Lucas Buzziol at the 8:19 mark. Shea turned aside 22 shots in the opening frame alone.

The Garnet Chargers extended their lead in the second period, striking three times, sending Union into the second intermission with a 4-0 advantage.

Union's offense netted five goals in the final 20 minutes to win the ECAC opening round contest, 9-0.

The Garnet Chargers outshot Brown 59-22 overall and capitalized on special teams, converting 4 of 7 power-play opportunities while holding the Bears scoreless on their two chances. Cameron Korpi turned away 22 shots.

Ivan Zadvernyukled the Bears at the faceoff dot, winning 13 of his 19 draws.

The Bears conclude the 2025-26 season 5-24-2 overall.
