BOXSCORE
Storrs, CT (Oct. 12, 2002)-- Ilvy Friebe of Princeton University scored the
game-winner in double overtime to lift the Tigers past the University of
Connecticut field hockey team, 4-3, on Saturday at the George J. Sherman Family
Sports Complex in Storrs, CT. The loss breaks a string of seven straight wins
for UConn who falls to 8-6 overall while Princeton moves to 5-4 on the season.
Princeton scored the only goal of the first period off a penalty corner and
took a 3-1 lead in the second half before UConn junior Kelly Stolle (Warren, CT)
made it a one goal game when she knocked in a rebound off the goalie pads of
Princeton keeper Kelly Baril (60:05). UConn senior Kelly Cochrane (Scarsdale,
NY) knotted the game at three apiece on a penalty stroke at 64:07 to force the
overtime.
UConn had three shots in the first overtime, with its best scoring chance
coming off the stick of junior Mary Jo Malone (Water Mill, NY) whose shot hit
the post. The Tigers answered with two shots of their own, one of which UConn
sophomore Lauren Christie (Raby, Australia) stopped just before the goal line
for a defensive save which kept the Huskies alive and forced a second overtime
period.
Friebe ended the game at 96:40 on a breakaway when she slipped a seven-yard
shot past UConn junior goalie Maureen Butler (Red Hook, NY).
