UConn went on two separate runs of two goals apiece at the start of the second half, sparked by Shannon Burke and Kristin Link who finished with four and three goals, respectively. The Huskies posted their biggest lead of the game when Abbey VanDeusen scored with 17:36 left in the game to put the Huskies ahead, 12-8.
Colgate then proceeded to rattle off a 5-1 scoring run that ultimately tied the game at 13-13 with only 3:36 left in the contest. Link quickly shut the door on the Raiders when she scored the game winner on an assist from Burke just 19 seconds after the Raiders tied the game. Levin added some insurance in the closing minute with an unassisted goal to put the score at 15-13.
"I loved the spirit this team showed today," Rosen said. "We maybe weren't as disciplined initially in some things but it was clear that today was about willing a win."
The Huskies dominated in shots and ground balls and committed fewer turnovers than the Raiders.
"Even though we were in a tight game the whole time I felt like we had control over it," Rosen said. "It was just a great match-up and we ended up doing more right than wrong in the end."
Rosen said that she would like to see the same intensity and spirit from her team coming into their last game of the season on Friday.
"I'd love to see us come out with the attitude and spirit that we played with today [in our last game," Rosen said. "I'd love to see each player bring their best and that would be a wonderful way to end the season."
The Huskies will play their final game of the season and say goodbye to their five seniors Friday when they host Stanford at 7 p.m. at Morrone Stadium.
