UConn Defeats BC and URI - Climbs to #14 in the Nation

~Eagles Embarrassed~ A much hyped UConn-BC matchup this past weekend did not live up to expectations...in the best way possible.  The Huskies jumped out to a 6-2 lead at halftime and never looked back, handing the #12 Eagles an 11-5 loss.  As stated in a previous email this is UConn's first victory over BC in ten attempts since the Eagles joined the MCLA in 2004. Box Score: http://mcla.us/scores/games/11598/ ~URI Defeated~ UConn went down to Kingston, RI yesterday afternoon to face off against a scrappy URI team.  On what has to be one of the worst fields in the league the Huskies kept URI at arms length despite the Rams unwillingness to go down easy.  At the end of regulation UConn pulled out a 10-9 victory over URI.

Huskies Defeat New Hampshire in mid-week matchup, #12 BC on deck

~New Hampshire~ Yesterday the Huskies got a tough W against a stingy University of New Hampshire team.  UNH came into the game with a 1-4 record, however all of their loses were to nationally ranked teams (#11 CU 14-9, #13 Clemson 5-2, #10 Buffalo 10-6, #8 VaTech 8-6) so the Wildcats were obviously hungry for a win and not to be taken lightly.  UConn came out strong in the first with a 3-1 lead, and would hold a 5-4 lead at the half.  UNH would take a one goal lead with 9 minutes left in the 4th, however UConn would score 2 goals in the final 5 minutes to put the game away.  Box Score http://mcla.us/scores/games/11597/ ~#12 Boston College~ Last week prior to the Northeastern game I wrote an email comparing this years team to the 2006 team.  With the win...

April 14th 2006, Storrs, CT

On this day nearly 6 years ago a 7-1 UConn team hosted a nationally ranked Northeastern program at Depot Field.  The game was originally planned for Sherman Field, however a Women's Varsity game scheduled for Morrone Stadium at the same time was moved to the artificial surface of Sherman in the 11th hour due to a steady rain.  This left the men's program scrambling to move their game to Depot with warmups about to begin.  In those days, when Sherman first became available for team use, games at Depot Field were rare because the field surface was terrible, and the lighting sub-par.  There was some obvious concern among the team to move from the comfortable confines of Sherman, to the terrible conditions of Depot for such a big game. However Head Coach Dino Mattessich...
