New for te 2011-2012 seasons, the America East Daily Word, a collaboration between AmericaEast.com and AExtra, will recap the previous day's games and on goings on our nine campuses and provide links to recaps, previews, features and exclusive coverage.
We only had one game on the slate yesterday. Well, really it
was only a half a game but No. 15 Boston University and No. 8 New Hampshire
played one of the most exciting halves (and more) of field hockey we have seen
this fall.
Thanks to heavy rain and lightning, Friday night’s game had
to be halted after halftime with UNH leading, 2-1. The conclusion of the game
was played yesterday.
The Terriers tied the game early in the second half only to see the
Wildcats snatch it right back. Boston U.’s Andrea Greene forced this one into
overtime, though, with her goal in just under nine minutes remaining in
regulation. In the extra session, the Terriers had plenty of opportunities and
it looked like the game was headed to a stroke-off until Whitney Frates scored
her third goal of the game with under a minute to play to give UNH the 4-3 win.
The game took 70 hours to play from start to finish.
