Field Hockey Downed by No. 3 UConn on the Road, 6-2

STORRS, Conn. – The No. 22 Old Dominion field hockey team (5-3, 1-1 BIG EAST) fell to reigning BIG EAST Champion No. 3 UConn (8-1, 2-0 BIG EAST), 6-2 on the road on Friday afternoon.

"Connecticut played much better than us today," head coach Andrew Griffiths said after the game."We made some critical mistakes at key times, and overall we have to be tougher and better."

After a quiet first quarter of play, the Huskies kicked their offensive attack up a notch. The UConn offense peppered Monarch goalkeeper Cam MacGillivray, ripping five shots her way within a three-minute timeframe, but she turned aside each shot to keep the game scoreless.
