STORRS, CT (December 12) – The University of Connecticut women’s ice hockey team suffered a 3-1 loss to No. 10 nationally-ranked Harvard University in an ECAC non-divisional match-up on Wednesday evening at the UConn Ice Arena in Storrs.

Caitlin Salzar-Reid (London, Ontario) took a shot from the point and Berry redirected the shot from in front of the net for the score. Harvard sealed the victory on an empty net, power play goal (19:40) from Corriero, who ended the night with a goal and two assists.
