Brown added a touchdown late in the third quarter when Donnelly found Jordan Evans for a 25-yard touchdown.
Though the points did not come often, that was all Brown needed as the Bears' defense dominated to secure the win.
Yale (2-6, 1-4) failed to move the ball effectively, totaling just 22 yards passing and zero first downs through the air for the game.
