After a 10-0 victory over NSIC-opponent Sioux Falls on Saturday it looked as if the UIU Women’s Soccer team would move up in the polls. Not so.
After a 0-0 tie with Southwest Minnesota State on Sunday, UIU dropped two spots into a tie for 10
th place in the most recent NSCAA/Continental Tire NCAA Division II Poll.
Kali Loescher,
Jill Schechinger,
Danielle Weiss,
Jess Dickhaus,
Valeria Ptasinski,
Elizabeth Kaluzinski all found the back of the net once against the Cougars, while
Alyssa Petersburg and
Madie Edwards rounded out UIU's weekend scoring with a pair of goals each.
That momentum faded on Sunday as the Peacocks hosted SMSU and after outshooting the Mustangs, 17-5, neither team could find the back of the net and the match ended in a 0-0 tie. At 9-2-1, the Peacocks are still making history every time they take the field. UIU needs just three more victories this year to tie a program-best 12 wins. That record was set back in 2007 - coach Brian Bahl's first season with the team. That Peacock squad finished with a 12-8-1 overall record, including a 6-2-1 mark in the NSIC.
