STORRS, Conn. - The No. 15 UConn women's lacrosse team finished off an undefeated season at home as it topped Butler, 22-15, Saturday morning at Morrone Stadium.
UConn capped its home slate with an 8-0 record, marking the second time in program history and first time since 2013 where it went undefeated in Storrs.
Additionally, the Huskies picked up their 13th win of the season, matching the 2013 team again for most wins in single-season history.
Senior Sydney Watson shined in her last game at Morrone Stadium, tying her career high with nine points on five goals and four assists. Senior Grace Coon and sophomore Madelyn George posted hat tricks while 11 different Huskies found the back of the net.
On defense, all three goalies in Landyn White, Georgia Hoey and Evy Stricker saw time and made at least one save.
Watson and George combined for the first five goals before senior Lia LaPrise and Coon got on the board to push out a 7-4 advantage at the end of the opening quarter.
UConn started the second quarter on fire once again, as George, sophomores Morgan Carter and Susan Lafountain, and Watson made it an 11-4 game. Coon, Lafountain and Watson closed the frame with another 4-0 run as the Huskies led by nine, 15-6, at the break.
Sophomores Abby Charron and Lauren Barry, and junior Grace Goetz all got on the scoreboard in the third quarter as UConn furthered its grip to 20-7. Junior Emily Schillinger scored her first career to seal the game as UConn improved to 5-0 against the Bulldogs.
The Huskies will cap the regular season on the road as they take on Georgetown on Friday, April 29 at 6:30 p.m.
