Flames Outlast DePaul in Double Overtime, 2-1 -- Box Score
CHICAGO – The UIC men’s soccer team (4-2-1) battled back from a 1-0 deficit to secure a 2-1 (2OT) victory against DePaul (3-3-1) on Saturday night at Flames Field. Junior Jorge Alvarez netted the game-winner and his second goal of the match in the 104th minute on a field-length kick from sophomore goalkeeper Andrew Putna.
"I think tonight showed the character that is in this group," head coach Sean Phillips said. "Losing two games on the road and coming home, we challenged them to respond, fight, compete and, more importantly, find that extra bit of composure in the final third. In addition to the two goals, we had a couple balls cleared off the line, which still is not quite the composure we want, but it is definitely going in the right direction." Read more
