In their first game without legendary head coach Ray Reid, the UConn men’s soccer team succumbed to #18 St. John’s yesterday, 2-0. The loss puts the Huskies at 1-2 on the season and 0-2 in Big East.
After a lethargic first ten minutes where the Huskies were pinned by the pressing Red Storm, UConn started to gather itself in possession. Bridgeport natives Ahdan Tait and Djimon Johnson fired off back-to-back shots while on a counter 15 minutes in and it looked like UConn had worked its way into the game. But just as the Huskies were finding their footing, the Red Storm struck off a counter of their own in the 19th minute.
