Syracuse's men's soccer team traveled to face No. 24‑ranked UConn on Tuesday night, emerging with a 2-1 victory that underscores the Orange's rising momentum.
Key Moments
The breakthrough came in the 28th minute when Jordan Grey latched onto a pass from Sachiel Ming and slipped the ball past the UConn keeper for the opening goal.
Just four minutes later, Gabriel Oksanen doubled the lead, finishing a quick combination with Grey to make it 2-0 before the half‑hour mark.
UConn refused to go quietly, pulling one back in the 45th minute as Elijah Langford capitalized on a defensive lapse, narrowing the score to 2-1 just before the break.
The second half belonged to Syracuse's back line, which limited UConn to a single shot on target while the Orange piled up 13 attempts, eight of them on goal, preserving the slender advantage.
Looking ahead, the Orange are set to host the University of New Hampshire at home on August 23 at 5 p.m., a match that could further cement their early‑season trajectory.
