The Seton Hall men’s soccer team opened up their Big East conference schedule with a tough 1-0 loss against St. John’s, at home on Saturday.
It was a very physical match from the start with the Pirates and Red Storm eager to bring home a win in the first conference game for both New York area rivals. Both teams’ aggression led to a lot of whistle blowing with 47 total fouls called and 11 cards handed out. The Red Storm found themselves on the wrong end of the whistle for 28 of the 47 fouls called against them but were not handed a red card.
