Storrs, CT (Oct. 4, 2002)-- Sophomore Lauren Henderson (Avondale Harare, Zimbabwe) scored a career-high five goals to lead the University of Connecticut field hockey team to a 6-0 shutout over intrastate rival Quinnipiac on Friday night at the George J.

Senior Kelly Cochrane (Scarsdale, NY) assisted on all five of Henderson’s goals setting a new school record for most assists in a single game, while Henderson’s five goals tied a UConn record for most goals in a game.

Henderson scored all three goals in the first half off penalty corners. UConn used a set play in each where Henderson took a feed from Cochrane who received the ball from sophomore Lauren Christie (Raby, Australia).

Henderson opened the second stanza with a goal off a cross from Cochrane at 44:11, before the same trio from the first half combined for another Henderson penalty corner goal at 50:20. UConn’s final tally came from junior Kelly Stolle (Warren, CT) at the 57:46 mark.

The Huskies outshot the Bobcats, 13-1, with Quinnipiac’s only shot coming from senior Courtney Ryan (New Hope, PA).
