LYNCHBURG, Va. – The UConn women's field hockey team (5-11, 2-4 BIG EAST) dropped their top-10 matchup at BIG EAST rival and No.6 nationally ranked Liberty, 3-0, on Friday evening under the lights in Lynchburg, Va.
The Flames broke through just 1:39 into the match on a penalty corner attempt. A strong UConn defense held Liberty to that one goal heading into halftime.
UConn came out strong in the third period, keeping the Flames to their one goal and tacking on a couple shots on net. Liberty closed the game out with a pair of goals scored on penalty corners in the final period.
Sanne Stout, Belle Bressler, Jasmijn Damman, and McKenna Sergi led the UConn attack with one shot apiece.
Freshman goalkeeper, Natalie McKenna, made two saves in the loss.
Next up, the Huskies travel to No.3 Duke for their final road game of the regular season. The next home match comes on Friday, October 27th as the Huskies host ODU for senior day.
