STORRS, CT- UConn continued to host it’s Toyota Tournament by taking on UNH.
Set 1 opened up with some good defense as Taylor Dressing and Heldman both had good saves as did Jessica Isaac. Jordan Kirk then blasted a ball off the block to put Connecticut up by 1. A four hit error by UNH made it 2-0, but the Huskies committed and error of their own and it was 2-1, followed by a Lauren Laguerre service ace, Kirk replied with a massive spike, Unh committed an attack error, and Chauntay Mickens blasted a kill off the defense to bring it to 5-2. Justine Elliott fired back for a point, but three straight Connecticut points would follow and it was soon 8-3. A serve out of bounds gave Unh a point, but Connecticut picked up two more off of Rebecca Murray’s kill just in bounds and UNH’s failure to return another attack. It was 10-4.
