• Olivia Madore finished a pass from Hannah Buckley just under four minutes into the second overtime to give the University of New England a 2-1 Commonwealth Coast Conference win against Western New England at Springfield, Massachusetts.

WOMEN’S BASKETBALL: Hall of Fame basketball coach Geno Auriemma has weighed into Connecticut’s budget battle, offering to go unpaid next year in response to criticism over high salaries at UConn.

Connecticut still has no state budget, more than two months into the fiscal year, and Gov. Dannel P. Malloy, a Democrat, has vowed to veto a Republican-backed budget passed by the legislature, in part because it contains large cuts to UConn.

Auriemma is slated to make more than $2 million next year. He offered to forgo his pay after a lawmaker justified cuts by saying that a lot of people at UConn make a lot of money.
