PROVIDENCE - The Seton Hall men's soccer team suffered a 4-0 setback at Providence in a BIG EAST match at Ray Treacy Track & Field Complex on Saturday afternoon. The Pirates (0-11-1, 0-5-0 BIG EAST) fell to the Friars (6-5-1, 2-3-0) despite a 16-13 advantage in shots.
Mac Steeves netted two goals for the Friars before Julian Gressel and Manny Andrade added another pair in the second half. Danny Bartok (Union, N.J.) led The Hall with three total shots but the Pirates could not solve PC keepers Ben Seguljic and Colin Miller who combined for five saves.
