Huskies continue winning ways  stun #19 Northeastern in 3 OT  




 

On a dreary and wet night the UConn Men's Lacrosse team battled for four quarters and three overtimes to defeat nationally ranked Northeastern.  After coming out slow in the first half and trailing by up to 3 goals the Huskies came alive in the second half out shooting NU 21-9.  In the third OT Freshman Justin Oliver (Mystic, CT) swept hard from up top and bounced a shot into goal to win the game.   Freshman goalie Brandon Pepe (Orange, CT) had an outstanding game between the pipes with 15 saves, holding NU to 1 goal after the half. UConn is now 7-1 in the PCLL and tied for first place.  This is UConn's first ever win versus a national ranked opponent.

UConn to face #19 Northeastern Friday night



 
The 2006 UConn Men's Lacrosse team has gotten off to one of the best starts in team history, including a six game win streak, the longest since the Huskies won seven in a row in 2001. UConn (5-1/6-1)  will face off against PCLL powerhouse Northeastern (6-0/9-1) this Friday night at the Sherman Turf Complex.  The teams are 2-2 all time in PCLL play, but Connecticut has not defeated NU since an overtime victory in 2002.  The game will be moved to Depot Field in the case of inclement weather.
 
Huskies Trounce Bridgewater Bears  
An emotionally charged UConn team traveled to face ex head coach Chuck Little and the Bridgewater State Bears this past Sunday.  UConn showed early that they were there to make a statement and took a 6-0 lead after the first quarter, capped by a buzzer shot from midfield by Defenseman Greg Adams (Glastonbury, CT) which deflected off a BSC player and into the goal.  At the half the Huskies had a 13-0 lead and had held BSC to 3 shots.  The game would conclude with UConn on top 23-6.
