PHILADELPHIA - The No. 20 UConn field hockey team (9-10, 5-2 BIG EAST) lost in overtime to the Temple Owls, 3-2, on Friday afternoon at Howarth Field.
The loss drops the Huskies to 5-2 in BIG EAST play and the team will play in the No. 2 vs. No. 3 game at 4 p.m. on Friday, November 5 in the BIG EAST Championship in Storrs.
The Huskies will not win the BIG EAST regular season title for the first time since the 2011 season. UConn had won nine-straight regular season crowns.
Claire Jandewerth provided a pair of equalizers in the contest with her eighth goal of the season tying the game at 1-1 in the second quarter.
The Manheim, Germany native scored her team-leading ninth goal of the season in the fourth quarter to tie the game at 2-2 and eventually send the game to overtime.
However, the Owl responded with the game-winner in the first overtime to clinch its bid to the four-team BIG EAST Championship.
The Huskies will wrap up the regular season on Sunday, October 31 at 12 p.m. against No. 21 Delaware at the George Sherman Family Sports Complex.
