The St. John’s men’s soccer team ended their season with a heartbreaking 2-1 loss to the No. 5 UConn Huskies in what will surely be heralded as a classic game.

The match got off to an energetic start, as both sides almost scored within the first five minutes. After this flurry of missed shots and heads up defensive play from both sides, UConn ended up dominating possession until they scored the first goal in the 20th minute.

The Huskies broke through with an immaculate header from junior forward Scott Testori that gave them an early lead. This caused the Red Storm offense to wake up, and they began to control the ball for the remaining 25 minutes of play in the first half.
