UConn’s women’s soccer team recorded its first win of the 2026 campaign on Thursday, edging Boston University 2‑1 in a match that swung back and forth until the final whistle.
The Huskies fell behind early when Samantha Aronson opened the scoring in the 12th minute, but they controlled the tempo for much of the game, outshooting the Terriers 17‑4 and generating 28 attempts on target.
A Late Surge Secures the Win
A miscue by BU goalkeeper Jill Humphreys allowed Alayna Taylor to level the score in the 87th minute, setting the stage for a dramatic finish.
With just seconds remaining, Jessica Carr struck a shot that deflected past Humphreys, and the referee upheld the goal after a ten‑minute review, sealing a 2‑1 victory.
Coach Margaret Rodriguez praised the squad’s resilience, calling the performance ‘great’ despite the early struggles to convert chances.
