The UConn men’s soccer team dodged a bullet Tuesday night. In a game lasting only 60 minutes due to two lightning delays, the match was ultimately cancelled. NCAA games cannot be played past 10:00 p.m, and a lightning sighting at 9:30 put the nail in the coffin. The game will not count, despite Providence leading 1-0 in the 60th minute.
It poured the entire match and the slick ball on the field turf seemed to throw UConn off. For as cohesive as UConn looked last Saturday against Memphis, they were lacking the final product today.
Providence scored just two minutes after the first lightning delay ended.
