The IU men's soccer team tied the University of Connecticut 1-1 in the first round of the adidas/IU Credit Union Soccer Classic. \nThe Hoosiers outshot the Huskies 17-3 and got out to an early lead. \nHoosiers freshman midfielder Darren Yeagle scored the lone goal of the first half. At 7:33 remaining and with one Connecticut defender far to his right, Yeagle juked past diving Husky goalkeeper Matt Sangeloty and sent the ball high into the right corner of the goal. \nBut Connecticut tied it up late in the second half. With 16 minutes remaining in regulation, Husky midfielder Akeem Priestley recovered a rebound in front of the IU goal and knocked the ball to the top of the net. On his way back to midfield, Priestley turned toward the IU fans with his finger over his mouth to hush the rowdy home crowd. \nIU made several attacks at the Husky goal at the end of the game but was never able to net the ball.
