Game 2-14-82: Women's Ice Hockey vs. Boston University

These four reviews will be a bit short because I'm busy with midterms. 


What: Women's Ice Hockey vs. Boston University
Where: Mark Edward Frietas Ice Forum
When: Saturday, February 18, 2012, 2:00 PM
Result: Loss 3-2 (OT)

Right after getting off the bus back from XL, I headed over to Frietas to catch the remainder of this one. As I walked by Sherman, I heard them announce the final of women's lacrosse - we beat Iona 10-7. Well, that was the bright spot this weekend. The only bright spot.

When I got to this game, there were 15 minutes left in the second period, and it was 1-1. I don't usually arrive at games already in progress, but when I do, I'll count them if I got there before the halfway point (10 minutes of second period). I did, so this counts as a game in the log. Anyway, it was Senior Day, although I missed the ceremonies. Shortly after I got there, we got a goal to go up 2-1. We were playing the best hockey we had all season. It looked good for us. BU is the 10th best team in the country. Could we pull off the upset?

Alas, no. BU got an equalizer and another goal in overtime and won 3-2. Yet another loss for the Huskies when I was there. Well, in order to make the Hockey East Tournament, we need to beat BU on the road today and New Hampshire needs to lose. I wouldn't count on it. But let's hope for it.

But as you'll see, the real shock was yet to come.

UConn Huskies Sports Roundup, October 20th, 2011

Field Hockey: The #4 Huskies defeated Boston University under the lights, 2-1. UConn improves to 14-1 on the year. Anne Jeute scored a goal for the Huskies early, and Chloe Hunnable added the game-winner in the 39th minute. Next up is the biggest game of the regular season, as we host the Syracuse Orange on Sunday at noon. Coverage is available on All-Access. The winner will win the Big East regular season crown. However, that is not as good as we once thought as they still might play Louisville. But the Cardinals have been struggling, so that's not too bad.

Men's Basketball: UConn and Syracuse were voted co-favorites in the Big East pre-season poll. The Huskies received seven first place votes and 209 total. The season opens on November 2nd with an exhibition vs. American International.

Men's and Women's Tennis: Both teams won a dual match at Quinnipiac. The women took their end 4-3, an the men won 5-2. The men swept their doubles, 3-0. Read more here.
