The Pirates wrapped up their regular season action against the Huskies Sunday in a game that served as a reflection of the whole season. ECU gave up the game-winning goal to UConn in the final four minutes, after dominating possession and playing about even in a match projected to be a sure blowout.

ECU came out looking like the stronger side with two early shots in the fifth and tenth minute from midfielder Marianna Shurina and Lana Spitler. In both instances goaltender Emily Armstrong tipped the ball over the crossbar in order to keep the game within reach for the conference-leading Huskies.
