UIC will go for its fourth straight win against IUPUI Wednesday night.  It would be the longest winning streak in program history.  A win would also give UIC a 3-0 record to begin Horizon League play, extending the best start the team has ever had.

At 6-3-1 overall, the Flames have the best record relative to .500 at any point in the program's five-plus years.  They are one win shy of the most in a season.  Remarkably, all seven of the team's results have come via shutout.  Lena Kurz has six of them – the 16^th best total in the country – and Annika Laihanen has chipped in one.

The team's overall goals-against average of 0.39 is the 11^th best mark in the nation, and it has come from a total team effort.  Tamae Douglas is the current Horizon League Defensive Player of the Week.  She has been the heart and soul of a back line that has allowed only four goals, and a mere 39 shots on goal, the whole season.

Kickoff from Indianapolis is at 6 pm.  The match will air on ESPN3.
