STORRS, CT- Coach Holly Strauss-O’Brien’s UConn Huskies had been on a losing streak of late, but it that came to an end Tuesday night when the U of C prevailed over the visiting Don Ferguson coached Hartford Hawks. The Hawks however gave UConn plenty to deal with during the three sets in Gampel Pavilion.
Set 1 opened with Hartford pulling ahead to a 6-10 tie. Offense for Hartford during that run included kills from Kami Nethersole, Lindsay Anderson, a pair of smashes from Dionna Kirton and another from Kami Nethersole, as well as some UConn attack errors. Uconn’s Mattison Quayle started scoring early, as did Jackie Wattles. Down by four a UConn spike cut the lead to 3, and Julia Hamer and Allison Nickel shared a block, on the next volley, the two sides went back and forth until an attack error by Hartford put the Huskies back within one. Sareeta Nethersole leapt into the air on the next back and forth and came up with a big kill, but UConn would cut the deficit to one again.
