Villanova men’s soccer lost for the fourth straight time to fall to 0-4 on the season, but the 1-0 loss to Providence in overtime was not a fair result given their performance on the day.
Despite an extensive list of injuries, the Wildcats played the Friars even through most of the match and had advantages in possession and outshot the visitors 11-7 in regulation and 3-2 in the overtime periods.
Lyam MacKinnon, Elan Koenig and young forwards Branden Johns and Akinjide Awujo all missed the match while Seidu Shamsudeen left in the early going and didn’t return.
