Fairfield, CT - Sacred Heart Men's Club Soccer were on the road Friday night vs Fairfield University with tensions high for the rivalry match.

Sacred Heart's Goalkeeper, Francesco Vesci, put up 16 saves throughout the game with multiple double saves in the last 10 minutes of the game. Midfielders, Zaiden James, Nic Elsass, Justin Alves and Gregorio Espinoza put up a battle in the midfield dominating it and leading the team on its attacks. The Pioneers ended the game with a 0-0 draw and prepared for a home game vs New Haven that Sunday.
