Sydney Watson set a Connecticut record with 14 draw controls and tied a school record with eight goals as the Huskes improved to 2-1 with a 20-14 win over UMass-Lowell.
Watson, a junior from Prince Frederick, Md., was an All-AAC selection last year when she led UConn in goals (39), points (51) and draw controls (92). She has 14 goals in just three games this season.
Lia LaPrise added three goals and four assists for UConn and sophomore goalie Landyn White came off the bench late in the first, finishing with seven saves and just five goals allowed to earn the win. Izzy Liquori led UMass-Lowell with five goals.
Michigan Pulls Away From Louisville
No. 13 Michigan scored the final four goals of the game, all in the final 6:38, to pull away from a 15-11 victory over Louisville.
The Wolverines scored the first five goals of the game and Louisville spent the rest of the game playing catch-up. The Cardinals tied the game at 7-7, 9-9 and 11-11, but never got over the hump. Erin Garvey’s goal with 6:38 remaining gave Michigan the lead for good at 12-11.
Kaitlyn Mead led Michigan with four goals, including a goal just 34 seconds after Garvey’s key goal to help the Wolverines stretch the lead. Louisville goalie Rachel Florek made 17 saves and Shayla Scanlan scored four times for the Cardinals.
