UIC beats #15 Wisconsin

[UICJohn]

I have been a little down on the UIC Soccer program and that didn't help when we were picked #6 (out of 9 total teams) in the MVC Preseason Poll.

Convincing wins over NJIT (3-1) and St. Thomas (3-0) at home was nice but no real challenge. Then we outplay an Oakland team just to get a 2-2 draw.

However, a win over Wisconsin tonight is an eye opener. Wisconsin was 3-0 coming in to tonight with their latest win a 1-0 win over #2 Kentucky. They had not yet surrendered a goal on the year and we beat them 2-0.

Currently, we are sitting at 3-0-1 with our next game against Loyola. They're currently 2-0-1 with a win over Oakland (our only common opponent).

This will be our first road game of the season (albeit still in Chicago).

I had checked the score when there was still about 58 minutes to play and it was 1-0. Was wondering if we could hold on and beat them. Nice win. I think we also play Northwestern and DePaul yet? Would be great if we were the best program in Chicago.

UIC beats Loyola to stay undefeated.

My guess is we will be ranked come Monday (at minimum a ‘Receiving Votes’).

UIC is currently #24 in RPI.
