Murphy’s Law is an adage that “anything that can go wrong, will go wrong.” For an example, look no further than the UConn men’s soccer team in 2019. The Huskies lost 1-0 to Memphis Friday afternoon at Dillon Stadium, giving up a golden goal in the first overtime period. UConn falls to 3-6-1 on the season. What started off as a promising season has derailed thanks to a combination of poor lapses, injuries, and bad luck.
On top of the dagger overtime loss, UConn was dealt a crushing blow before the whistle even blew. Jordan Hall, who’s second in the nation in goals, is out for the season with a leg injury.
