UConn with a 2-1 win at home over NJIT.

Good win. NJIT, according to the broadcast, is ranked 49th. America East has 4 in the top 50, Big East just 1 with Georgetown.

Testori looked really good. A little worrisome how many of our chances seem to come from crosses, but I’d rather we swing the ball in than play with it until we lose it.

NJIT is a tough team to play against, very physical and good at toeing the line with the ref.

Sorry to repeat this but can anyone share the status of Lucas Almeida? Haven’t seen #9 in game or sideline. Thanks in advance.

I don't think anyone outside of the team really knows at the moment. They put out a tweet and a graphic for him during the offseason, and he changed his number from 12 to 9 this season, but other than that it has been radio silent.

All 4 of the other forwards have played pretty well, so I guess it's possible Suski and Pickering jumped him in the pecking order and they just don't have minutes for a 5th forward? Seems pretty unlikely to me but anything else would be pure speculation.

Scoreless draw at home vs LIU last night. Similar to last time we played them, we had a lot of quality possession but just didn't really generate clear-cut chances. Tomerius hit a long-range effort off the bar in the first half that was probably our best opportunity of the game, but Conway also almost got on the end of a scramble in the box in the second half.

I meant to watch on UConn+ and then got lost in my own nonsense. At least we didn't lose.

Coming off a win vs NJIT, I would have liked to see us keep that momentum, especially playing what is probably a worse team, but what can ya do. They were a tournament team last year, so they're definitely a competitive program.

It wasn't a very exciting game but I like playing LIU. Their head coach, Mike Mordocco, won a national championship at UConn in 2000.

I recognized that coaches name. Keep the former husky on the schedule!

Revenge game ending in a tie. Probably not what they were hoping but still no losses. This program is playing better than early season last year. Looking forward to the big East season.

Picked up 6 minutes against LIU. So not sitting out for the season I guess.

Huskies make their first-ever trip to the CCSU campus for a men's soccer match tonight.

Central Connecticut (0-3) has yet to score this season, so they are clearly struggling so far. The Blue Devils were picked 8th (of 9 teams) in the NEC Preseason Coaches Poll. UConn beat CCSU at home last year in their only previous head-to-head match up.

If you can't make it to Hard Hittin' New Britain, the match is available free on NEC Front Row (NEC Front Row) at 7 pm.
