Men's Soccer Earns Point With Draw at Bradley Sunday

Flames Falter Early But Respond to Keep Pace in MVC Standings

PEORIA, Ill. (Oct. 22, 2023) – The UIC men's soccer team (8-4-3, 3-2-2 MVC) rounded out its road regular season schedule Sunday, as it traveled to Bradley (5-4-6, 1-4-1 MVC) for an afternoon contest at the Braves' Shea Stadium.
 
FIRST HALF
  • The Flames got off to a slow start for the second consecutive match Sunday, as they surrendered the first goal of the match to the Braves in the 16th minute on a right footed strike in the box from Bradley's Claudel Ngongang.
  • UIC did not wait long to equalize, as just six minutes later, Jesus De Vicente (Casas Bajas, Spain/Iowa Western CC) tallied his third goal of the year, the beneficiary of a fortunate bounce off a Braves defender to level the match at 1-1. Darrell Turcios (Independence, Ky.) tallied his first point of the season as the lone assist on the De Vicente equalizer.
  • The Braves would out-shoot UIC 7-4 in the first 45 minutes, but the two sides would enter the locker room level at 1-1.
 

 
SECOND HALF
  • The second half started as a much more defensive affair, as each side registered just one shot in the first 30 minutes of the second frame.
  • The match as a whole was extremely physical, with each side committing 15 fouls by the 77th minute.
  • The two sides ended the match with just two shots a piece in the second half, and the two would play to a 1-1 draw. With the draw, the Flames remain in third place in The Valley standings.
 
UP NEXT
The Flames will return home for their final two matches of the season, as they close out Missouri Valley Conference play on Friday, welcoming Northern Illinois to Flames Field for a 7 p.m. kickoff. UIC will close the regular season with a non-conference match against Villanova on Oct. 30, with that match set for a 1 p.m. start from Chicago.
