On a dreary and wet night the UConn Men's Lacrosse team battled for four quarters and three overtimes to defeat nationally ranked Northeastern. After coming out slow in the first half and trailing by up to 3 goals the Huskies came alive in the second half out shooting NU 21-9. In the third OT Freshman Justin Oliver (Mystic, CT) swept hard from up top and bounced a shot into goal to win the game. Freshman goalie Brandon Pepe (Orange, CT) had an outstanding game between the pipes with 15 saves, holding NU to 1 goal after the half. UConn is now 7-1 in the PCLL and tied for first place. This is UConn's first ever win versus a national ranked opponent.
