UConn Men’s Soccer Opens AAC Play With Win Over Temple

The Huskies got their third win in-a-row on Saturday, defeating Temple 1-0 and to get themselves off to a good start in American Athletic Conference play. Abdou Mbacke Thiam scored the goal for the Huskies off a corner in the 64th minute off the foot of Kwame Awuah. Mbacke Thiam has scored four goals in the three games since he has returned from a hamstring injury.

“It’s definitely important to get a win in your first conference game,” Simen Olafsen said. “We’ll go into Tulsa with a lot of confidence.”

On a crisp early fall evening, the teams seemed to have trouble getting going.
