HARTFORD, Conn. – The University of Saint Joseph (USJ) men's soccer team battled, but fell on the road to nationally-ranked No. 25 Trinity College (Trinity), 2-0, Tuesday night at Trinity Soccer Field in Hartford, Conn. With the result, the Blue Jays moved to 1-2-0 on the season, while the Bantams improved to 2-0-1.

KEY HIGHLIGHTS
