Conference round up: American suffers tough string of losses

It was an action-packed weekend in the American Athletic Conference, as 11 of 12 teams were in action, including an early-season inter-conference match-up.

The early slate of games featured matchups with teams from Power-5 conferences, including the Big 12 Conference, Big 10 Conference and Southeastern Conference.

The University of Connecticut traveled to Columbia, Mo. to take on the University of Missouri Tigers.

The Huskies played a tough game, leading the Tigers at half, six to two, but mistakes, including two missed field goals, doomed UConn in the end.

The Huskies fell to the Tigers, 9-6, and now sit at 2-1 on the season, looking forward to a matchup with the United States Naval Academy next week.
