Men's soccer 2017

Temple game in Philadelphia, UConn has a 1-0 in the first half off a goal by Abdou Mbacke Thiam.
 
Temple has a goal waived off in the 2nd half, so UConn maintains the 1-0 lead. Still, sounds like Temple has been having the better offensive chances in the 2nd half.
 
10 minutes to go, UConn gets an insurance goal off a counterattack breakaway from Niko Petridis. 2-0 UConn, first goal of the season for Petridis. By the way, Petridis did not start in this game.
 
Tuesday night soccer versus Providence. For the second straight game, Apostol and Coly are in the starting lineup over DaSilva and Petridis.
 
Providence game, no score at the half. However, John Tuite on WHUS says that this is one of the best halves of soccer that UConn has played this season. 11 shots and many good chances that just didn't go in the net.
 
UConn wins 1-0 over Providence off a Abdou Mbacke Thiam goal with 8 minutes to go in the game. Petridis with the assist making quite the play coming out of the corner. UConn now with a 5 game unbeaten streak. Next up a Friday home game against Tulsa, a team that has recently given UConn fits.

Friday night game against Tulsa at Morrone. No score at the half. Most noteworthy moment was a point blank save by UConn's keeper Scott Levene.
 
Niko Petridis did not start the game, but started the second half. Seven minutes into the half Petridis makes a long run and scores to make it 1-0 UConn.
 
UConn is now 2-0 in the men's soccer AAC standings, with 5 games left against AAC teams. Only the top four teams make the AAC tourney, so getting off to a fast start in the conference is essential.

Final score 1-0 UConn over Tulsa. UConn unbeaten streak now stands at 6 games. Next up for UConn on Monday night is a huge home match against unbeaten Maryland.

Coming away with a result against Maryland would be huge for this team right now. Hopefully they will keep riding this momentum...
 
Silly question but they don't stream the games live? I live in FF County -- would love to watch (radio doesn't cut it) but can't make the game.

They do on huskyvision.com which will probably cost $10 for the game for subpar stream quality unfortunately.

For audio, Huskyvision uses the WHUS radio broadcast feed of the game. Even watching on the computer, you still get something of John Tuite and the radio experience.
 
Monday night, Maryland at UConn. This game is a big step up in class for the Huskies. With the Terps dominating possession early in the game, Maryland gets off to a 1-0 lead with 18+ minutes to go in the first half.
 
Late in the first half, UConn is awarded a penalty kick. Freshman Blaise N'gague converts on the pk, so the game is now tied at 1.
 
UConn's play picks up in the 2nd half. However, 10 minutes into the half Maryland picks up a goal to make 2-1 in favor of the Terps.
 
24 minutes to go, Maryland picks up another goal to make it 3-1.

UConn makes it interesting when Nick Apostol picks up his first goal as a Husky to make 3-2 Maryland with about 3 minutes left in the game.
 
Game over, Maryland wins 3-2. After playing nine out of its first 10 games at home, UConn now goes on a 3 game road trip starting with Cincinnati on Saturday.

4,160 there last night. Not as much as the Quinnipiac game of 4,666

Both great for mondays. Wish there was more last night for such a big game.

Jeff Jacobs: UConn Soccer's Chance For Glory Slips Away

Until the above Jeff Jacobs column on the Maryland game, the Courant had not sent a reporter to cover a UConn men’s soccer game since the first two games of the season against Iona and Quinnipiac, when Mathew Conyers wrote game stories. I recall Ray Reid did not talk to the press after the Iona loss, so I was wondering if that might be part of the reason for Conyers and The Courant not covering any of the intervening games.

For some time the Courant hasn't written any articles beyond a preseason article and the first game or two. I don't know if it's because there's nothing positive to write about or they simply don't use Conyers for more than the early 1-2 articles. Never a season-ending article but that wouldn't be very upbeat.

Not going to get better unless Jacobs starts going to the less “glamorous” games... Conyers has left the Courant to become Director of Communications for Xavier High School.

This is where the Daily Campus/UConnBlog coverage fills in.

I did not know Conyers left the Courant, so thanks for that info.

In previous seasons Conyers wouldn't cover every home game, but he did cover several games over the course of the season, plus he would do a few features on the team. It was a sort of semi regular coverage. Who knows if the Courant continues doing this semi regular coverage of the soccer team in the future without him.

USF beat Tulsa 3-2, so the Bulls are now tied for 1st with UConn.
 
Big men's soccer game tonight. Both UConn and South Florida lead the conference with 9 points and are undefeated in the AAC. Whoever wins this game will have a big leg up on possibly winning the regular season title and having the home field advantage in the AAC tournament.
