The UConn women’s soccer team defeated the Albany Great Danes 4-2 in the first round of the NCAA Tournament on Saturday night at Morrone Stadium in Storrs, CT. The Huskies spread the goals around with Ribeiro and Hill adding their typical contributions with Alexa Casimiro and Maddie Damm scoring as well.
UConn started quickly when Rachel Hill sent a cross into the middle of the box. There was a scrum in front of the net and Alexa Casimiro was able to get a foot on the ball and poke it past the Albany keeper. Just four minutes later, Ribeiro scored in similar fashion, once again toe-poking a ball into the net.
