STORRS, Conn. – The UConn men's soccer team hosts the No. 19 Georgetown Hoyas on Saturday, October 12. Kickoff is set for 7:00pm. Tickets are available HERE.
UConn is currently atop of the BIG EAST standings in the East Division with seven points. Georgetown is right behind the Huskies in second place with six points.
UConn is coming off their first loss of the season at Vermont on Tuesday. The Huskies conceded their first goal in four games, equaling to 376 minutes of game time. UConn currently ranks 5th in the country in goals against average at 0.64 per game. Redshirt-freshman goalkeeper Max Kerkvliet has been a big part of UConn's defensive success this season, ranking at the top of the conference in save percentage (0.85), saves (39), and shutouts (5).

The last time the Huskies beat the Hoyas was October 3, 2012 (2-1).
