Palos Heights, Ill. - The UIC men's and women's cross country teams opened the 2010 campaign with the UIC Home Opener at Horsetail Lake on Saturday by posting wins over Horizon League rivals Green Bay and Milwaukee.

"I'm very please with how the races went today," said UIC head coach Jim Knoedel. "The men did a great job despite running shorthanded."
