Injuries as well as several early shots with no results only made the victory that much sweeter for Yi.
"This game was frustrating," said Yi. "I knew with the way we were playing we would pull it off, though. We just had to be patient. Right now I'm speechless. I'm just glad we got the win."
Sunday's game against Boston University (2-3) did not end with the same jubilation as Friday's game, however.
The Terriers snatched away the Huskies' momentum early in the game as Jessica Luscinski scored at 10:20 after UConn committed a costly turnover deep in their own territory.
It was the fourth time in five games the Huskies have allowed the first goal.
UConn was able to keep the deficit to 1-0 entering halftime, though, keeping Boston University out of the net after the Terriers had three consecutive corner kicks late in the first half.
At the start of the second half, UConn's Melissa Busque and Elizabeth Eng came out firing, but were unable to convert on their chances.
UConn had several chances to tie the game in the second half, but were unable to find the same magic they had in the game against Yale.
After the game, Tsantiris was visibly disappointed with his team's performance.
"We are losing to teams that are not as good as us," Tsantiris said. "We did not play. We did not do anything up to our standards."
