SOUND BITES
"It was a well-played match between both teams. UConn just created more scoring opportunities where we couldn't capitalize on our chances inside our attacking 25. We had some good combinations through our midfield but as soon as we become more consistent with our receptions and develop quicker decision-making, we are going to be even better.
"Playing against a top-ranked opponent like UConn, we knew it was going to be a battle. They deserved the victory today. We will regroup and our attention is already on another great team in Syracuse."
-Head coach Kelly Doton
