CHICAGO (Aug. 28, 2024) – The UIC men's soccer team (1-1-0, 0-0-0 MVC) hits the road for the first time in the regular season this week, as the Flames travel to Madison, Wis. For a showdown with Wisconsin (2-0-0, 0-0-0 B1G) Thursday night. Kick-off is set for 7:30 p.m. CT and can be seen live with a paid subscription to B1G+.

FIRST WIN OF THE YEAR
The Flames earned their first victory of the 2024 regular season on Sunday, as they closed out their two-match home stand with a 4-2 win over Green Bay. Bart Muns (Amsterdam, Netherlands/Santa Barbara CC) was the hero for UIC, as his go-ahead tally with less than 12 minutes remaining proved to be the match-winner and earned him his third brace in his two seasons with the Flames.
 
SERIES NOTES
While the Badgers hold the all-time series advantage 6-3 over UIC, the Flames most recently got the best of Wisconsin a season ago, taking a 2-0 victory in Chicago on Sept. 4, 2023.
 
UP NEXT
The Flames will return home following Thursday's match in Madison and prepare for a Labor Day showdown against Northwestern at Flames Field. Kick-off is set for 7:00 p.m. CT for that match and it will also be shown on ESPN+.
