UConn Devours Field Hockey, 4-1

"No, I wasn't pleased with how we played today," Caples said. "We need to play better defense."

"We need to step up against teams like this," she said

Caples commented, however, that she was hopeful that the team's level of play will pick up in the future.

"We're playing against the best competition in New England," Caples said. "It will eventually make us better as a team."

"We have to play better," she added. "These next few games will be a real test for our players, how they respond. If we make adjustments, we will be a better team."
