STORRS, CT (October 27) -- 14th year University of Connecticut field hockey
coach Nancy Stevens won her 200th career game at Connecticut when her squad
defeated Syracuse, 2-1, on Sunday in New York. Coach Stevens is now only 12 wins
away from tying former UConn coach Diane Wright for the all-time wins record.
