BULLDOGS DROP HEARTBREAKER TO UNH ON THURSDAY

SMITHFIELD, R.I.  – Julianna Casucci tied the game with under a minute left in regulation and scored the game-winner seven minutes into overtime to lift the Wildcats to a 2-1 victory over the Bryant field hockey team on Thursday afternoon at Cowen Field.

With the loss, the Bulldogs end the regular season with a 7-10 overall and an 0-5 mark in America East play. Bryant will now face third-seeded UAlbany in the quarterfinal round of the America East Field Hockey Championships on Sunday afternoon at 1:00 p.m.

On Thursday, Callie Caito's 10th goal of the year had given Bryant a 1-0 lead and the Black and Gold were doing everything they could to hold it. UNH, however, found an opening in the final minute to tie the game, eventually winning in overtime.
