this is very troubling

Obviously this young man has serious issues and needs to be dealt with properly
Hope that the young lady will come out of this OK
It seems that the program needs to be heading in a different direction in many ways - it enjoys a great tradition and getting into the NBE was a great shot in the arm but Covid has taken its toll. As a lifelong fan (65yo) I have seen the program stagnate over the past 6 plus years.
I feel (not because of this particular issue) it needs to see new leadership. I admire Coach Miller but strongly support a complete overhaul in the coaching staff - new blood that will create some excitement. The program will attract interest from a high level of coaching plus the new facilities will help tremendously.

Is Ray Reid even back with the team?

What a mess that program is right now.

The fact that he is still listed on the active roster is troubling at this time.

Obviously, I don't know this case. But, if the soccer program had even an inkling that this was going on ("...revealed that he was responsible for a number of violent assaults over the course of a monthlong time period against the victim") anyone within UConn Soccer and the athletic program should be shown the door immediately no matter who they are.

If you read the article, it clearly states that he was suspended after the first arrest in February and that he no longer was an enrolled student at the time of this arrest.
