UConn Soccer '23

[yungdowork]

Hard-fought game last night. I thought UConn really controlled the first half and did a good job creating opportunities. We got a quick one at the start of half #2, and then we started to look a little less convincing, but overall played well.

We actually had 2 goal-line clearances in the second half that were absolutely crucial. The first one was a defender (I believe Vacter) using his head to block a shot while our goalie was out of net, and the second one was Kieran Chandler sprinting back to clear it off the line after Hibbert had to come out to prevent a breakaway goal. I was surprised how high our back line was playing while we were holding a lead, but we did just well enough to hold on.

We also had VAR overturn a penalty which would have given us the opportunity to go up 3-1. The ref had some puzzling decisions at times, which I would argue overwhelmingly didn't go in UConn's favor, but that's show biz baby

This was the first time ever that Central and UConn men's soccer teams have met on pitch (Women's teams have met 20 times). UConn was much faster and stronger side, but the Blue Devils put in a good effort in the loss.

CCSU had 8 in-state players on the roster and UConn had 7. This is great game for the both schools and the State. This should be an annual matchup.

Gbandi put out an almost entirely rotated squad with a lot of guys who haven't featured a ton this year, but it went pretty well. We had some really nice performances from guys we haven't got to see a lot of. Joey Saputo put in 2 goals today and he's only had 61 minutes all year! I thought he overdribbled a bit which made him turn the ball over a few times, but it's hard to argue with 2 goals. Greg MacLean also added his first goal as a Husky.

I'm not sure how much we see some of these guys once we're back playing conference games, but hopefully it built some confidence for the squad as a whole.

VT is a solid team - knows how to play with a lead
Should have been 1-0 - the PK was questionable based on what the ref was calling all night and he missed a blatant handling by VT seconds before the penalty kick call.
UConn had so many chances in the 2nd half - just cant get that quality delivery into the box
