Daily Word: New Hampshire Downs Boston U. in OT - AmericaEast.com

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.
