MORGANTOWN, W.Va. – The No. 20/21 West Virginia University men’s soccer team will face No. 1/2 Connecticut on Friday, Oct. 19, at 8 p.m. The match will be nationally broadcast live by Fox Soccer Channel. UConn currently is at the top of the BIG EAST Blue Division holding a 6-1-1 record and is on a six-game winning streak. WVU is in third place in the Blue Division holding an 8-5 overall record, 4-3 in conference play.
WVU defeated UConn last season, 3-0, on Sept. 30, in Storrs, Conn. UConn leads the all-time series against WVU by an 11-2-2 margin, dating back to 1984. The Mountaineers hope to mirror last season’s upset when WVU defeated Notre Dame in front of over 2,000 fans at Dick Dlesk.
