UConn men’s soccer kicked off their 2018 campaign with a pair of wins this weekend, earnings victories against the Lehigh Mountain Hawks on Friday and Niagara Purple Eagles Sunday.
First up was a dramatic win over Lehigh. In the 83rd minute, newcomer Felix Metzler out of Frankfurt, Germany fired home a direct kick from 19 yards out, scaling the wall and off the woodwork to break the deadlock. The Huskies held on for the final minutes to start the season off 1-0.
The Huskies had the Mountain Hawks under pressure the entire game and outshot Lehigh by 17-4 margin.
