STORRS, Conn. – The Boston University field hockey team dropped a 4-0 road contest to No. 3 UConn on Sunday afternoon at the George J. Sherman Family Sports Complex.

BU moves to 3-5 on the year while the Huskies improve to 9-1 with their fifth straight victory.

HOW IT HAPPENED

BU played its best hockey in the early stages of the contest as it controlled the possession game and recorded four of the game's first five shots on goal.
The Terriers had a great chance to open the scoring with back-to-back corners late in the first period but could not find the back of the cage.
UConn opened the scoring at the 17:52 mark as Sophie Hamilton sent in a rebound with an elevated shot over BU netminder Caroline Kelly.
Under three minutes later, Svea Boker doubled the home team's lead by finding the right netting at 20:30.
Up 2-0 at the half, the Huskies were able to push their lead to 3-0 early in the second half when Boker received a pass outside the circle and dribbled in before notching her second goal of the contest.
Hamilton also registered a pair of goals on the day as she got the Huskies' fourth and final tally of the contest at the 35:39 mark off an assist by Jessica Dembrowski.

GAME NOTES

UConn held slim advantage in shots on goal (10-9) and corners (3-2).
Cheyenne Sprecher turned in a nine-save shutout performance for the Huskies.
Kelly recorded three saves for the Terriers in three quarters of action before senior Livy Golini played the final quarter and stopped all three shots she faced.
