It was the first contest against a ranked opponent, and a former conference rival at that.
And it turned out the same way as the last three.
Last season, the then-No. 22 Scarlet Knights claimed a 2-0 win over the then-No. 10 Huskies on the road. The Knights duplicated last year’s result in Storrs, topping the No. 21 Huskies (0-1-1), 2-0 at home.
The Knights got goals from a veteran and a newcomer. Senior Colby Ciarocca scored first in the 51st minute. While that would be enough for the victory, freshman Amirah Ali capped the scoring with a feed from Nicole Whitely, putting it in the net from the top of the box.
