Brown softball's season ended dramatically at the Ivy League Tournament in Princeton. The Bears started strong, defeating Harvard 8-2, driven by Macy Borowski's pitching and batting. However, they fell to Columbia in a heart-wrenching 12-inning game, losing 2-1 despite a stellar performance by Edie Cobb. Their inability to capitalize on scoring opportunities against Columbia sealed their fate.

What's Next
