UConn with a narrow 1-0 loss at home to Georgetown tonight (#9 RPI). We started off the game looking really lively and really dominated the first 15 minutes or so, which culminated in a solid effort from Eli Conway, forcing a really good save out of the Georgetown goalie. A few minutes after that Georgetown scored on a counterattack and then really settled into the game.

A lot of the big moments in the second half actually ended up being refereeing decisions. UConn had a chance for a penalty when a shot deflected off a Hoya defender and a handball was called, but VAR overturned it. A bit later, Georgetown almost iced the game when they saw the ball in the back of the net, but it was called off for offsides.

Overall, really not much to complain about from this particular game! Bryant and Butler should be coming at a good time, as we're 1-1-2 over our last 4 games and could use a bit of momentum heading towards the end of Big East play

Thought we played okay but being held scoreless in 4 of the last 5 games is pretty troubling

In the big East teams are playing to try to win and not just tie. There will be a few more opportunities for shots and then it’s up to goalie saves and accuracy. Hopefully get 3 points on the road to bring momentum back home against a solid providence team.

UConn lost 2-1 last night in a very competitive game. To Providence’s credit, they fought very hard the whole game and made it difficult for us, despite us controlling a lot of the game. Both of their goals came off scrambles in the box, and the 2nd in particular owed a lot to pure hustle from one of their players who kept the play alive when it looked like Kieran Chandler could clear.

UConn’s goal by Mikah Thomas was one of the best I’ve ever seen at Morrone Stadium, truly worth a watch. We were almost able to steal a tie when a header from Scott Testori hit the post with 5 seconds left on the clock.

Anybody read anything about So. Lucas Almeida status. Former HSPOY hasen't seen many min's and maybe redshirting IDK?
Only thing i had heard months ago, was he had trouble with a foot but it was unclear what the inj. might be.

I don't think anybody has said anything concrete. He's only seen 33 minutes all year, compared to the 366 minutes he played last year, and that includes a shift he put in at right mid against Fairfield. Our forward group is pretty strong compared to last year with the additions of Suski and Pickering, but considering Almeida's pedigree, I expected to see him basically every game going into the year.

A scoreless tie is the game result.
Dang, if we could just score a goal once in a while. I‘ve watched several games. It’s simply boring.
