A last-ditch effort allowed No. 3 Kentucky Men’s Soccer to walk away with a 1-0 win on Monday night.
The Wildcat took on the East Tennessee State Buccaneers at The Wendell and Vickie Bell Soccer Complex in Lexington. Coming into the match, UK was fresh off a 3-0 dominant victory over Florida Gulf Coast University last Thursday. It was a perfect start to the season for Kentucky, which enters 2023 as the preseason pick to win the Sun Belt Conference.
But on Monday, Kentucky came out sluggish. In fact, both teams came out of the gate looking lackluster.
