    STORRS, Conn. – Sophomore Phoenix Wooten scored his first career goal on a second-half equalizer as Harvard University men’s soccer played to a 1-1 draw at undefeated Connecticut on Saturday night at Morrone Stadium.
     
    After the Huskies (5-0-3) netted the only goal of the first half in the 23rd minute, the Crimson (2-1-1) drew level in the 75th minute as Wooten’s goal helped Harvard remain unbeaten (2-0-1) over its last three matches.
     
    Wooten struck at the 74:36 mark as he drove a shot into the bottom left corner of the goal from outside the penalty area off an assist from junior Dylan Tellado, who posted a point for the third straight match and leads the Crimson with six points on the year.
     
    Over its last three matches, Harvard has earned victories over Big East member Providence, (2-0, Sept. 5) and ACC member California (3-1, Sept. 10) alongside its draw with Big East side UConn (1-1, Sept. 13).
