2017 Field Hockey Final Four Journey

[ASweet3781]

Congrats ladies. Huge win. Looked like it was gonna be another heartbreaker to UNC but Nina Klein would have none of it.

UConn faces Maryland for the title. They beat up Michigan 5-1 so it won't be easy. We gotta kick start our offense. Can't be outshot like that again like we were today.

I haven't seen anything on the UConn Blog website about the field hockey team and their run through the NCAA tourney. I find it to be an amazing oversight on their part. The possibility of a UConn team winning a national championship should never be overlooked by a publication or website that dedicates itself to UConn sports.

Great way to send off the senior class with an undefeated season, led by the senior trio of Vietner, Umstead, and Klein.

Any word on who was MVP of the final four? I would think Nina Klein gets it.

7 more championships to go and we'd be tied for 4th in the Big Ten for most team national championships with UMD!

Let's hope Geno can win 5 straight. And Nancy Stevens continues to dominate for however long she decides to keep going. These two coaches have clearly worked wonders.
