The Chris Gbandi era has found its footing. The UConn men’s soccer team is 1-1-0 on the young season, dropping the home opener to Charlotte 3-1 on Friday but bouncing back with a commanding 2-0 win vs. Holy Cross on Sunday. The win was highlighted by a sellout crowd at Morrone Stadium, complete with support from a wide range of other varsity athletes in attendance, including both basketball teams.
“I was proud of them,” Gbandi said after the Holy Cross win. “It was a tough game against Charlotte to come away without points, so to come out with the intensity tonight against a well-coached Holy Cross team was great.
