NEW LONDON, Conn. -- (September 16, 2025) -- Max Weiss (Weston, Conn.) scored his first career goal to lead the Connecticut College men's soccer team to a 1-0 non-conference win over Salve Regina on Tuesday afternoon from Freeman Field. Conn improves to 2-1-2 on the year, while Salve falls to 1-1-2.
Salve had the first shot of the contest just five minutes in, but TJ Krongard (Montclair, N.J.) came away with the routine save. 10 minutes later Conn got their first shot of the afternoon, as Elliot Spatz (Bellevue, Wash.) was turned aside by Nick Giorgi (Poughkeepsie, N.Y.).
Krongard came up with an early save in the second half to keep the game scoreless, before the Camels took over. Caleb Huang (Hopkinton, Mass.) and Spatz both had shots stopped by Giorgi, before Daniel Woodward's (Newton, Mass.) volley from the top of the box went wide.
Conn finally broke through with 18 minutes to play. Marco Perugini (Medway, Mass.) laid off a pass to Max Haberman (San Diego, Calif.) who played a perfect pass over the top into the path of Weiss, who fired home to put the Camels in front.
Seconds later, the lead nearly doubled as Kevin Hwong's (San Mateo, Calif.) shot towards the upper corner was tipped out for a corner kick. Conn closed out the final minutes to come away with the 1-0 victory.
