// LAST TIME OUT
UC was edged 1-0 by the UConn Huskies on Oct. 7 at Gettler Stadium in a hard-fought battle between two conference foes. The setback marked the first Bearcats loss to the Huskies in Cincinnati in series history. The two squads were neck and neck throughout with the visitors from Connecticut dodging multiple Bearcats bullets. With UC catching a number of bad breaks over the course of the game, a flip over UC's back line by UConn's Austin Dasilva to the AAC's leading goal scorer, Abdou Mbacke Thiam, in the 79th minute was the difference. UC had the advantage in shots on goal, 6-3, and corner kicks, 6-2. Of the Huskies very few scoring opportunities, redshirt freshman goalkeeper Pearce Skinner (Grand Blanc, Mich./Grand Blanc) turned away two.
