The UConn men’s soccer team is off to an 8-3-0 overall start, including a 2-0-0 record in American Athletic Conference play, with both conference games on the road.
Last Saturday’s 1-0 win against Tulsa was particularly sweet in light of the Huskies’ loss to Tulsa on penalty points in last year’s conference championship.
The winning goal was scored by redshirt junior Andrew Geres, who has three goals for the season; Abdou Thiam leads with seven. UConn made a strong showing on offense, anchored by goalie Scott Levene: the shutout victory against Tulsa was the third in a row and fifth of the season.
After winning five straight matches, Connecticut checked in at No. 18 in the TopDrawerSoccer.com poll on Monday afternoon.
