STORRS, Conn. - No. 13 UConn Field Hockey team (11-5) fell in double overtime to No. 2 Maryland (16-2) on Sunday afternoon during their final regular season game of the year.

Sunday marked Senior Day for the Huskies, where 10 seniors on the team were honored in a ceremony on the field just before the game started.

The first quarter of the game remained scoreless, with the Huskies dominating possession both on offense and defense. UConn senior, Claire Jandewerth, scored in the second quarter to put the Huskies on top over Maryland going into halftime. Maryland answered the goal quickly into the third quarter and the game remained at a standstill, forcing overtime.
