Don’t want to jinx the team but we’re in at-large territory at this point.

The Valley is currently #9 in RPI per rpiupdatemenssoccer.blogspot.com/search/label/Conference%20RPI%20Rank?m=1. This site also has UIC at #8 in RPI. The additions of Western Michigan and Bowling Green to the conference have been solid. Along with Missouri State, the conference is having a pretty good season so far.

Speaking of Western Michigan, huge game against them at home on Saturday…both for conference positioning, but also for another quality win to add to the resume. Depaul (cannot lose that game since they currently have 1 win) and #15 Missouri St follow.

Would love to see us in the tourney again…with decent seeding.

Tough loss tonight to a quality squad that was in the Sweet 16 last year (they were also without a star player tonight and played with 10 for the final 10 minutes after a red card). We had some great chances in the last 15-20 minutes but just couldn’t finish. I felt like we were thoroughly outplayed until we went down 1-0 on a bad clear by us. Probably going to drop out of the rankings now. Hopefully we can take care of business against Depaul. An absolute must win.

As a side note, former legendary UIC coach John Trask was doing color on the stream tonight. Great insight, and great to see him still partially tied to the program. He’s from the area and still apparently attends some UIC games.

UIC has actually dropped to #25 and look as though they were looking past DePaul as they are trailing the Blue Demons 2-1, closing in on the end of the first half. A loss against DePaul will definitely drop the Flames outta the top 25. They've got a HUGE showdown Saturday against #9 ranked Missouri State!

Sorry for the jinx. Can’t be Chicago’s college team when you keep losing to other teams in Chicago.
