UIC adding women's soccer

Not sure if anyone caught this but Jim Schmidt was interviewed at halftime of the Evansville game. I'm not 100% certain I heard the year correctly, but I thought he said they were adding women's soccer in the fall 2014. Did anyone else hear this?

Always great to add more sports. I wonder if UIC will be adding another men's sport at some point.

It's my belief, ever since I saw that UIC was adding women's golf, that the Flames are planning to bring back ice hockey.

No mention of it on the board but the official announcement was made about two weeks ago.

If it wasn't for proposition IX, we'd probably have some level of football. In order for us to have football, outside of getting a heck of a lot of money for a stadium, we'd have to eliminate some women sports because the amount of men that would be involved in Football. The number of offered sports (men's and women's) have to be equal or approximate and the number of male athletes to female athletes have to be so as well.
