PROVIDENCE, R.I. - The Providence College men's soccer team will host the University of Connecticut on Wednesday, October 8 at 3:00 p.m. in a BIG EAST Conference match at Glay Field.
The Friars (3-4-3, 1-4-1 BIG EAST) will play their first home match since September 21. In their last game, the Friars were defeated by Seton Hall, 3-2, on Saturday, October 4 in South Orange, N.J.

Less than seven minutes later, Maduro tallied his first goal of the season to tie the game and force overtime. However, the Pirates scored less than three minutes into the first overtime to seal the win.
