COACH'S COMMENT
"We were not at our best during critical times of the match, and that proved costly," said head coach
David Nikolic. "We continue to push to improve in each training session, especially around the goal, so that we're ready on game day. The goals will come; we just need to find the right combination to make that happen, and at the moment, it's eluding us.
HIGHLIGHTS
BEYOND THE BOX SCORE
- UIC fired off 12 shots (five on goal) compared to DePaul's eight.
- Senior Kaysey Castro (Fishers, Ind./Fishers/Bowling Green) and freshman Sophie Ignatowski (Hartland, Wisc./Arrowhead Union) each made their second start of the season against DePaul.
