No. 16 Field Hockey edges No. 15 Uconn, 2-1

A happy, long holiday weekend all. Note: I’ll have a women’s soccer recap following the No. 14 Georgetown match on Monday evening.

The Scarlet Knights field hockey team won their fourth consecutive road match during the season-opening seven-game road trip. After three consecutive wins on the left coast against UC Davis, Cal, and Stanford, the Knights returned to the right coast, taking on the No. 15 University of Connecticut Huskies at Nancy Stevens Field in Storrs on a cool, sunny first day of September.

Both teams played to a scoreless first half. Rutgers had the majority of chances with seven of the first nine shots through 20 minutes of play, including a penalty stroke attempt, but could not capitalize.
