Bulldogs Edged by UConn

NEW HAVEN, Conn. – The Yale women's soccer team fell to UConn, 1-0, on Thursday evening at Reese Stadium. The Huskies netted the game's only goal early in the second half and maintained their lead to secure the win.
 
The Bulldogs drop to 2-2-0, and UConn improves to 2-2-1.

"Disappointed in the way we came out tonight as I don't think we displayed our quality," said Sarah Martinez, Loring Family Head Coach of Women's Soccer. "We still created chances and weren't good enough in the final 1/3."

"We have to regroup and turn the page to a really good Kansas team on Sunday," added Martinez.
