Field Hockeys Extends Win Streak to Four

SCORE: UAlbany 3, Yale 0
 
LOCATION: Alumni Turf - Albany, N.Y.
 
RECORDS: UAlbany 5-2, 0-0 America East | Yale 4-2, 0-0 Ivy League
 
SHORT STORY: The Great Danes tallied three goals to tally their four-straight win, Sunday.
 
COACH PHIL SYKES: "It was a good team effort today. These games are tricky - when you only have one Sunday game because you are used to playing two in a weekend and it can be hard to get that energy. I thought Yale played well and put us under great pressure. I was glad we figured out a few things, scored a couple of goals, and earned the 'W'. It was tricky since it was so hot and humid - it feels like every game we play there is record heat on that day. I am happy for the team's effort and winning our fourth in a row!"
