Seton Hall drops opening game in BIG EAST play, late attacking chances fall short

SOUTH ORANGE, N.J.
– No. 8 Seton Hall men's soccer lost 1-0 against Providence, dropping its opening game of BIG EAST play for the season.

The unbeaten Pirates found themselves down a goal at the half, but fought back with multiple attacking chances in the second half. The Hall earned multiple dangerous free kicks, four corner kicks and drew a late penalty off an aggressive chance by Jack Kossoudji (Columbus, Ohio). None of them found the back of the net, however, resulting in a 1-0 defeat for the Pirates.

With the loss, The Hall drops to 6-1-0 on the season and is 0-1-0 in BIG EAST play.

HOW IT HAPPENED
Providence held possession in the first half, but Seton Hall countered with their physicality. The Pirates countered their adversary's early aggression with seven fouls and two yellow cards, but the Friars' broke the scoreless tie. In the 22nd minute, Providence's Rodrigo Vaza combined with two teammates to land a shot inside the far post of the goal while streaking into the box.

In the second half, the Pirates, down a goal, upped their offensive pressure and found their rhythm. In the 71st minute, a Jared Smith (Longmeadow, Mass.) service into the box nearly found its way into the goal off of a streaking Pirate's head, but Friars' goalie Lukas Burns saved the equalizing opportunity.

In the 84th minute, Jack Kossoudji drew a penalty kick after being fouled in the penalty box. Virgil Dall'Agnol (Grenoble, France) took to the spot for the attempt, but the conversion was not successful. Further attempts to find the equalizing goal fell flat, resulting in a 1-0 loss.

I have a difficult time coming around to the view that Trump wins any of PA, MI, or WI. Even if he runs the table in NV, AZ, GA, and NC, he must win one of those three (unless there's an upset like him winning VA or NH). He's slipping in NC and GA seems to be a dead heat.
I think the more she talks the more they state of PA will not trust her on fracking. She was terrible with Oprah. She looked like a deer in headlights when asked how she was going to lower prices.

As I see it scoring is going to be a problem. I was at the Harvard game they dominated and had many chances but could not score, the penalty kick in the 2nd half was their 1st coal. In soccer you can dominate and control play but one slip up and you can be down 1 goal. Throw out all statistics shots on goal ,time of possession etc. It just takes one forward run to take the lead no matter how long the other team dominates on the other end .

Good Summary of Seton Hall

I don’t think Sha leaves with more success. Look at the options in 1996, He didn’t choose George Blaney, he chose Seton Hall. He thrives on being the underdog, starting with his height as a player. He has always been out to prove he belongs. Hell about 40% of posts prior to his hire said he wasn’t ready to coach in the BE. Then it was his assistants. In this day of NIL, I love that he can poach with the best of them, especially after being poached. I love the team he assembled and if this is the new norm, he’ll drive the “ Underdog” bus with players looking to prove others wrong. We have 8 guys who are out to prove a point and with Sha and his staff, this may be the year he has more success.

The Angel announcers were saying they thought the game last season in Detroit was his greatest game but the game against Miami was definitely better . In Detroit last year he pitched a one hit shutout in the first game of a doubleheader then in the second game hit 2 home runs .
As an Angel fan it hurt me to see him go to the Dodgers . Just another in a long line of screwups by Angel owner Artie Moreno . There was a recent article quoting some of his Angel teammates that said if Moreno had matched the Dodger offer that Ohtani would have stayed with the Angels .
