Offensive Outburst Propels Men's Soccer to Convincing Victory

Flames Topple Aces in Dominant Fashion Saturday Night

CHICAGO (Oct. 14, 2023) – The UIC men's soccer team (8-3-2, 3-1-1 MVC) returned home to Flames Field Saturday, as it played host to Evansville (3-7-3, 1-3-1 MVC) on a cool fall night in Chicago. The Flames opened the first half with a flurry of goals, tallying four in the first half to take control of the match. The Flames went on to earn a 5-1 victory, equaling their largest margin of victory this season.
 
FIRST HALF
  • Oskar Greven (Cologne, Germany) got the scoring started in the 13th minute, as his second goal of the season gave the Flames a 1-0 lead.
 

 
  • Leading goal-scorer Bart Muns (Amsterdam, Netherlands) added to his tally in the 31st minute, pocketing his sixth of the season to double the UIC advantage.
 

 
  • Junior Joshua Torres (Chicago, Ill.) returned to the score sheet just six minutes later, notching his fifth of the year to give the Flames a commanding 3-0 lead.
 

 
  • Two minutes prior to the halftime whistle, Juan Gutierrez (Waukegan, Ill.) tallied his first goal of the year to run the lead to 4-0 over the Aces.
 

 
  • The four goals the Flames scored in the first half were the most in a single half since a six-goal onslaught against Bradley on Oct. 23, 2022 in a 6-2 win.
 
SECOND HALF
  • Despite the large advantage, the Flames stayed on the front foot in the second half, outshooting the Aces 9-8 in the final 45 minutes.
  • After an Evansville goal in the 62nd minute, Preston Huitron (Aurora, Ill.) scored his first goal of the season to re-establish the momentum, giving UIC a 5-1 lead that it would hold until the final whistle.
 

 
UP NEXT
The Flames will return to the road for their next three matches, as they will make their lone trip to Ohio this season for a Wednesday showdown with Bowling Green. Kickoff is set for 6:00 p.m. CT, and the match can be seen live on the Falcons' YouTube page.
