Storrs, Conn.-- The Providence College Field Hockey team was defeated by the University of Connecticut, 6-0, in a BIG EAST Conference matchup on Saturday, September 9.

Providence senior goalie Heather Tattersall (Bethlehem, N.H.) made 21 saves for the Friars, while senior Breanne Wojnarowicz (Holden, Mass.) had the game's only defensive save. Alana Linick recorded one save between the pipes for Connecticut.
