Pirates Continue Home Stretch Against FIU

South Orange, N.J. - Seton Hall men's soccer (4-2-4, 2-0-1 BIG EAST) will return to non-conference play on Tuesday when the FIU Panthers (5-4-2) visit Owen T. Carroll Field on Tuesday. Match time is scheduled for 6:56 p.m. and will be broadcast live on ESPN+.

LAST TIME OUT

The Pirates played host to the No. 14 Georgetown Hoyas in a key matchup for the Pirates' potential BIG EAST Tournament hopes.
The first half between the two sides was an even affair, with both teams having scoring chances. However, neither side was ultimately able to get the ball past either keeper. In the second half, the Hoyas turned up the pressure on the Pirates, shutting their offense out from even registering a shot across the final 45 minutes. Seton Hall's defense, however, put up a titanic effort to prevent the Hoyas from collecting a single goal, ending the match in a 0-0 draw.
With the draw, the Pirates ended a five-match losing streak against Georgetown.
