Both teams are 1-0-0 on the short season as Providence knocked off SMU 2-1. Predicted to finish 5th in the Big East preseason rankings (SMU 2nd in the American).
UIC is up 1-0 at the 40’ mark

UIC is victorious by a 3-0 score!
Fanstadtic start to the year at 2-0-0 and outscoring opponents 5-1.
Possible national ranking votes next week? We will see.

Fantastic start to the season. Providence beat a highly ranked SMU team, and we just handled Providence. I feel like in recent years, we haven’t been very good in non-conference, but this is a great start...now, no let-downs...pedal to the metal.

Agreed. Our next opponent, Drake, doesn’t have many expectations coming into this season. They were picked to finish 6th in a 7 team MVC and dropped their first match 1-0 against Orlando Roberts.
Western Michigan is a different story. They were picked to finish 2nd in the MAC but that’s just because they’re in a conference with Akron. WMU comes in ranked #14 in the CollegeSoccerNews.com preseason poll and started the season with a solid 2-0 win over a good Loyola team. That will be a game that we “should” be 3-0 going into and a good measuring stick for where we are.
