UIC 1, #arv/23 SIU Edwardsville 0
Freshman midfielder Joel Salmeron scored his third goal of the season in the 84th, lifting the UIC men's soccer team to a 1-0 win over No. 23 SIU-Edwardsville at Korte Stadium. The victory marks the Flames' second road win of the season and the second triumph over a nationally-ranked foe under third-year head coach Sean Phillips.
With the win, UIC (3-4-2, 0-0-1 Horizon) became the first team to knock off SIU Edwardsville at home this season. Redshirt freshman goalkeeper Goran Ikic, making his first career start, also earned the first shutout of his career.
Salmeron's goal came on a counter from the right side of the field, following a throw-in from fellow freshman Colin Marz. The ball landed on a bounce just inside the six-yard box, and after a battle for possession, Salmeron headed the ball into the back of the net.
SIUE out-shot the Flames 15-10, and held a 10-5 advantage on corner kicks. The Flames also forced SIUE goalkeeper Kent Kobernus to make four saves.
Cleveland State 0, Cincinnati 0
Heading down I-71, Cleveland State played Cincinnati to a scoreless draw at Gettler Stadium.
The teams endured a 42-minute delay between halves due to lightning, but Cleveland State (4-4-1, 0-0-1 Horizon) got a six-save performance from Brad Stuver to keep the match tied.
Cleveland State’s Daniel Radjen hit the crossbar in the 97th minute, but took a bounce off the bar and fluttered away.
Stuver’s shutout was his Horizon League-leading fourth of the season.
