South Orange, N.J. – Seton Hall men's soccer continues BIG EAST play on Wednesday night, as they welcome DePaul to Owen T. Carroll Field. Kickoff is set for 6:56 p.m. on the BIG EAST Digital Network on FloFC.

LAST TIME OUT
The Pirates remained unbeaten in BIG EAST play, notching a 2-1 victory on Saturday night against St. John's. Andrea Borg scored the game-winning goal in the 85th minute to propel the Pirates to the victory. The Pirates were the beneficiaries of an own-goal that deflected off St. John's defender Sanoussi Sangary in the 59th minute to take a 1-0 lead, but the Red Storm were able to equalize in the 79th minute. Seton Hall was outshot 17-7 on the night, including 14-3 in the second half.

We kept our undefeated Big East record in tact by earning a tie, 0 - 0, but lost the opportunity for a win and first place. From a statistical standpoint we really dominated Depaul, but just could not come up with a goal on a very wet night.

Providence, preseason favorite, lost at UConn. Xavier tied St. John's on the road to stay undefeated and in 3rd place with Seton Hall. Butler fell to Georgetown to lose sole possession of first place. The Hoyas climbed into second place after starting the season with a loss to St. Johns.

Statistically Georgetown should be in first place.
