Week 4 Eagle Notes:Â
Last weekend:Â The Screaming Eagles were held scoreless on the road trip, falling to Quincy University, 2-0, and to 25th-ranked Truman State University, 3-0.
Scoring goals in 2016: The Eagles have scored 18 goals through five matches this fall, just one short of the 19 scored during the 17 games of the 2015 campaign. Senior forward Gabriella Korte (St. Louis, Missouri) tops the USI scoring leaders with 11 points on a team-high four goals and three assists.
This week’s opponents in the GLVC: While the Eagles were picked to finish 13th in the GLVC this fall, UW-Parkside was forecast to place eighth and Lewis was voted seventh by the league’s head coaches.
USI looks to snap UW-Parkside losing streak:Â USI, which trails the all-time series with UW-Parkside, 12-9-2, looks to snap a three-match losing streak to the Rangers. The last time USI posted a win over UW-Parkside was in 2013 when the Eagles won at Strassweg Field, 2-1, in overtime.
Eagles look to get back on track versus Lewis:Â The Eagles will be looking to get back on track versus the Flyers after losing a 1-0 decision last year in Romeoville, Illinois. USI, which leads the all-time series, 13-5-2, had posted a 9-0-1 record versus Lewis since 2005 before losing last year’s match.
