Men's Soccer Falls in Non-Conference Thriller at Marquette, 5-4

UIC plays in its highest scoring match in 20 seasons, but sees its season-opening 10-match unbeaten streak snapped

MILWAUKEE – The UIC men's soccer team played its highest scoring match in two decades, but couldn't quite convert on enough of its opportunities as the Flames saw their season-opening 10-match unbeaten streak end with a 5-4 non-conference loss to Marquette on Tuesday night at Valley Fields in Milwaukee. Junior midfielder Edouard Nys posted his third two-goal match of the season (giving him 11 goals for the campaign), while sophomore midfielder Sebastian Khoury posted a career-high three points (one goal, one assist) and junior midfielder Adrian Biaggi dished out a career-best two assists for UIC (7-1-3). Junior midfielder Darrell Turcios also came through with his fifth goal of the season, while redshirt sophomore midfielder Alan Alonso picked up his second assist of the year.

Tuesday's nine combined goals were the most scored in a match involving UIC in slightly more than exactly 20 years to the day, an 8-1 Flames win over Centenary on Oct. 2, 2005. In an amazing twist, UIC had three other golden opportunities to add to their ledger on Tuesday at Marquette, but both of its penalty kick attempts were saved (in the 27th and 84th minutes), and Khoury's point blank tap-in goal off a perfect left-flank chip by redshirt junior defender Darien Martin in the 78th minute (a score that also could have tied the match at 5-5) was wiped out by an offside flag, a call that was subsequently upheld following video review.

This marked the seventh time in 11 matches this season UIC has scored three or more goals in a match, with the Flames' 29 goals for the year exceeding their total from all of the 2024 season. The Flames finished Tuesday's match with the upper hand in nearly every statistical category except the scoreboard, outshooting the Golden Eagles, 17-11 (10-6 in shots on goal) and winding up with an 8-6 edge on corner kicks. UIC did end up playing the final 5:16 one man down after junior defender Jacobo Cruz picked up his second yellow card of the night, resulting in a red card send-off.
