Storrs, Conn. – The Hofstra Men's Soccer team outshot Connecticut, but the Huskies came away with a narrow 1-0 win on Tuesday night at Joseph J. Morrone Stadium.

The Pride (1-3-2) mustered 10 shots to UConn's nine, but couldn't find the back of the net. The Huskies (2-2-1) tallied the difference maker in the 30th minute with Adbou Mbacke Thiam heading in a service from Munir Saleh.

Hofstra sustained the offensive pressure, and had the run of possession for much of the second half. With just over 15 minutes to play, freshman Marc Rodriguez danced through the midfield and found Matthew Vowinkel about 20 yards out, with Vowinkel sending in a rocket that sailed high. Moments later, the Pride was awarded a free kick to the left of the 18-yard box, and Huskies goalkeeper Scott Levene came diving out to punch away Fraser's service into the box.

Junior goalkeeper Alex Ashton made two challenging saves in the latter part of the second half to prevent an insurance goal from the Huskies.

Hofstra returns home on Saturday, opening Colonial Athletic Association play with a matchup against Elon at 7 p.m. at Hofstra Soccer Stadium.

Notes:
-Freshman Jack Nuttall made his collegiate debut, playing 29 minutes.
-Senior Danny Elliott led the Pride with five shots, including two on goal.
