CINCINNATI, Ohio – The No.2 UConn women's lacrosse team is set for another matchup with the No.3 Georgetown Hoyas in the semifinal BIG EAST conference tournament game on Thursday, May 2nd. The tournament is hosted by Xavier University and opening draw for the No.2 vs No.3 matchup is set for 4:00pm EST.
The Huskies are coming off a final regular season win over the Hoyas, where the tournament seeding was determined based upon which team won the game. With UConn being the victor, they claimed the No.2 spot, while Georgetown fell to No.3 in BIG EAST play. The Huskies edged out the Hoyas, 9-8, to take the win in Washington, D.C. just four days ago.
