STORRS, Conn. - The Seton Hall men's soccer team surrendered four first half goals and ultimately fell to #2 Connecticut, 4-0, on Saturday night. The Pirates drop to 3-7-1 overall and 1-2-0 in BIG EAST play.
Tony Cascio scored the Huskies' (8-1-1, 2-0-1) first goal of the night in the 23rd minute as he drilled a shot into the back of the net after receiving a pass from Carlos Alvarez.
Twenty-five seconds after UConn took a 1-0 lead, Stephane Diop scored his sixth goal of the year to extend the Huskies' advantage to two. Alvarez played the ball down the near sideline to senior Shawn Nicklaw, who then crossed the ball into the box where he found Diop for the Huskies' second goal of the night.
UConn tallied two more goals in the first half as senior captain Robert Brickley scored his first goal of the season and the second of his career. His score came at the 29:14 mark of the contest as he headed the ball off of a free kick by Alvarez.
Cascio netted his second goal of the game in the 41st minute as he drilled the rebound into the back of the net after a Nickardo Blake shot was saved by Kevin Bonder (Whippany, N.J.).
The Pirates will remain on the road when they take on Georgetown on Wednesday, October 13, for a 3:00 p.m. contest.
