Snow in October? Come on, man! But for now, it's the UConn Sports Roundup.'
Field Hockey: The Huskies clinched the Big East regular season title outright with a 5-0 win over Rutgers yesterday. Anne Jeute scored two goals, and Rayell Heistand, Jestine Angelini, and Marie Elena Bolles added one each. This game was not close, nor was it expected to be. The Huskies improve to 6-0 in Big East play and 16-1 overall and will wrap up the regular season at Princeton on Sunday at 2 PM. Next Friday, the Huskies will "host" Louisville at 12:30 PM in the first Big East Semifinal. That game will be played at Coyne Field in Syracuse and will air on BigEast.tv. The winner will face the winner of Syracuse-Villanova on Sunday at 1 PM.
Women's Ice Hockey: The Huskies lost to Syracuse 4-0 in a non-conference matchup. Nicole Paniccia made 30 saves, but it wasn't enough as Syracuse outshot the Huskies 34-17. The two teams will square off again today at 4:00.
Men's Soccer: The Huskies will wrap up the regular season today at Seton Hall. A win clinches them a bye in the first round of the Big East Tournament followed by a home quarterfinal. They can win the Blue Division regular season title with a win and a Marquette loss or draw to Pittsburgh. The Pirates have not won a Big East game this year, so this should be an easy win for us. Then again, that's what Maryland says and they played to a 0-0 draw. And we've had some poor offense in some games this season. Don't count out a trap game. In any case, it will air on WHUS and Live Stats can be found on the Huskies' website.
Women's Volleyball:The Huskies host Notre Dame today at 2:00 PM. That game will be on Huskies All-Access, as will tomorrow's game vs. DePaul, also at 2:00 PM. The Huskies need wins to keep their extremely slim postseason hopes alive.
Men's Ice Hockey: The Huskies host Army tonight at 7:05, looking to improve to 3-0 in Atlantic Hockey play. They are 3-2-1 overall right now. Next weekend, the Huskies will play two 7:05 games at Mercyhurst on Friday and Saturday night.
Update 1:39 PM - Lots of weather cancellations. Field Hockey has been cancelled since Princeton needs to play today's conference game tomorrow. Men's soccer will be played tomorrow at 6 PM.

UConn Huskies Sports Wrapup October 16th, 2011 (Part 2)
Here's the wrap-up for today's games.
Women's Soccer: The Huskies fell to #20 West Virginia, 2-1. Riley Houle scored the Huskies' only goal while Jess Dulski recorded five saves. Connecticut was tied with the Mountaineers at 1-1, but in the 55th minute, Blake Miller gave WVU a lead they would not relinquish. Connecticut and Providence will face off on Saturday at 1:00 PM in Rhode Island. A Huskies win puts them through to the Big East Tournament, but they cannot get a first-round bye. Instead, they will host Notre Dame, Villanova, or Seton Hall on Thursday, October 27th. With a loss, the Huskies can still make the Tournament, if St. John's fails to beat Syracuse. If they tie, the Huskies would go through, but a St. John's win would earn the Red Storm the #4 seed and force the Huskies to play on the road.
Field Hockey: The #4 Huskies defeated the Princeton Tigers 3-1 at George J. Sherman Family Sports Complex, as Anne Jeute scored two goals. UConn improves to 13-1 on the season. Next up, the Huskies will play their second weeknight game of the season, hosting Boston University at 7:00 PM on Wednesday. Video is available on All-Access. Then comes the big game, the one we've been waiting for all season. Senior Day against Syracuse on Sunday, October 23rd at 12:00 PM to determine the Big East regular season champion. But, that does not mean they will avoid Louisville, who will likely get the #4 seed. That being said, the Cardinals have lost four of their last five, and playing them in the First Round might not be such a bad thing. In other news, the #1 Old Dominion Monarchs lost to #7 Duke and #3 Maryland lost to the Monarchs, so there's a chance UConn could move up in the rankings when they are released on Tuesday.
Last week I introduced the weekly UConn Awards segment of this blog. I will post this week's winners later tonight.
