UIC will close out the road portion of the 2021 schedule with a pair of matches at Northern Kentucky.

The Flames are searching for their first conference win of the season.  With just four matches remaining, every outing will be important as they battle for a tournament spot.  The top four teams will qualify for the conference championship.

UIC has won three straight over the Norse.  That streak includes a 4-1 win in the quarterfinal round of the 2019 Horizon League tournament.

First serve will be at 1:30 Central on Saturday and Sunday.
