UConn Men In 3-0 Soccer Win
After back-to-back double-overtime victories, the Huskies earned a 3-0 win over Manhattan Tuesday night at Morrone Stadium to improve to 11-0-0 (2-0-0 Big East).? Junior Carlos Alvarez scored the game-winning goal four minutes into the action.? The Huskies have now tied the program record with eight consecutive shutouts set in 2009.?
?A well-executed breakout led to Alvarez's putting UConn on top early with his third goal of the season at 4:01.? Senior Tony Cascio collected the ball in the midfield and sent a through ball down the left line to junior Stephane Diop.? Diop played an early ball in to Alvarez streaking into the top of the box.? Alvarez took a quick touch to his left and bent the ball cleanly into the bottom-left corner.?
The Huskies would make it 2-0 at 17:45 when sophomore Juho Karppinen put home his first of the season.? Senior back Nickardo Blake made a long run down the right side and sent a cross into the box from the end line.? Manhattan keeper George Ellis dove to clear the attempt but the ball bounced to Karppinen who couldn't miss from eight yards out.?
Connecticut finished the scoring at 3-0 with Diop, the hero from UConn's 1-0 double-overtime victory at Louisville last weekend, finishing a rebound in front.? Diop fired a shot from the left side that hit off the post.? The ball came to freshman Allando Matheson.? Ellis made a nice save on Matheson but Diop was there to put home the rebound calmly past the sprawled keeper.? Diop's goal was his second of the season.
