Davis records first career goal in regular season finale
The Huskies took an early 2-0 lead in the first quarter by way of two penalty strokes. Svea Boker put the home side on the board in the fifth minute and Claire Jandewerth doubled the lead in the 11th minute.
Junior Lucy Cooper gave the Minutewomen their best chance of the opening frame, coming into the circle and putting two shots on cage, but Cooper was denied on each attempt by UConn goalkeeper Cheyenne Sprecher (two saves).
UConn added two more tallies in the second quarter from Maddy Wray (19th minute) and Marie Auer (26th minute).
Senior Sara Davis put the Minutewomen on the board just after halftime in the 35th minute. Off a scramble in front the ball came back to Davis at the top of the circle, where her shot deflected off a UConn stick and over Sprecher. Freshman Steph Gottwals earned an assist on the play.
