University of Connecticut men’s soccer freshman
Julius James (Maloney Gardens, Trinidad) was named BIG EAST Defensive Player
of the Week by the conference office on Monday.
James played a key role in the Huskies’ 173 minute shutout
streak as UConn went 2-0 this past week. He also helped Connecticut hold Boston
University (Oct. 12) and Rutgers (Oct. 16) to only seven shots in the 2-1 and
1-0 wins, respectively. Offensively, James notched the game-winner in the 107th
minute of UConn’s 1-0 double-overtime win against Rutgers.
The Huskies return to action on Wednesday, Oct. 20, when they
play host Boston College in the second contest of a men’s and women’s soccer
doubleheader, slated to start at 7:30 p.m.
