The first week of fall 2021 action for the UConn men’s soccer team saw showed signs of a rebirth, even if it didn’t show up in the results column. Week two proved that cautious optimism was more than warranted as the Huskies improved to 4-1 on the year with victories over Monmouth and Yale.
On Saturday, Sept. 11, UConn topped Monmouth 1-0 in a double overtime thriller that saw sophomore Okiem Chime net the game-winner at the death.
In the 106th minute, Chime followed up a stellar free kick from sophomore Moussa Wade, and buried the ball in the back of the net after the Hawks keeper parried the shot to his left.
