CHICAGO – With three games remaining in the regular season, the UIC women's soccer team (5-11, 3-3-0) will close out the road portion of its schedule Wednesday when it heads north to Green Bay, Wis., for a 7 p.m. CT tilt with the Phoenix (2-10-1, 1-4-1 HL) at Aldo Santaga Stadium.
 
Last Time Out
The Flames have gone 3-1-0 over their last four matches, including the most recent 2-1 defeat of Youngstown State (Oct. 14), marking a program record three straight conference wins. Tamae Douglas scored for the third consecutive game and was assisted by Janai Cedeno and Olivia Everin before Emily Valentine notched the game-winner off her third penalty kick goal of the season. Tara Khayam picked up her first win of the year while making five saves.

Player of the Week
Valentine earned the title of Horizon League Defensive Player of the Week on Monday (Oct. 16) for the first time in her career and to mark the first back-to-back weekly accolades in program history following Douglas' Offensive Player of the Week nod last week. While scoring the game-winning penalty kick goal, she also helped limit the Penguins to just 11 shots.
