THE LEAD:
 
The University of Hartford Men's Soccer team fell, 1-0, against Saint Joseph's on Tuesday night at Al-Marzook Field at Alumni Stadium.

HOW IT HAPPENED:
 

• Diane netted Saint Joseph's first goal in the 63^rd minute off a defensive miscue by Hartford.

Diane dribbled to the top of the box and fired low past freshman goalkeeper Jimmy Slayton.
