In the Big East semifinals yesterday, UConn beat Old Dominion 4-3 on ODU's home field. ODU is normally one of the top rated field hockey schools, so I'm not sure how they could have ended up being a 4 seed, but they were. Anyway, the Lady Monarch's are certainly UConn's biggest competitor in the Big East. On Sunday, the Big East finals will pit UConn against Temple. By the way, the Huskies beat Temple 8-0 about a month ago in Pennsylvania, so I figure that there is a rather good chance that UConn will go onto the NCAA tournament with a perfect record.
