The University of Illinois Springfield men’s soccer team scored nearly twice as many goals last season as it did in 2012 and produced more wins than the previous four seasons combined.
UIS coach Jesse Miech then stocked the cupboard in the offseason with quality talent. All of this should point to a bright future and present for the Prairie Stars.
“We have a 25-man roster, which is more than we had last year,” UIS sophomore defender Addison Ferry said. “The competitiveness of the practice is way higher, which will ultimately help us. There are a lot of freshmen, and they’re all pretty talented.”

Summer Bridge gives head start to UIS freshmen
Successful college learning sometimes requires a jump-start unencumbered by the distractions of making new friends, learning the campus and adjusting to life away from home.
The Summer Bridge program at the University of Illinois Springfield is designed just for that — to help students prepare academically and socially for the transition into college.
The program, now in its third year, doubled in size to include 53 incoming freshmen from two separate “living-learning communities” that include a large number of students who are the first generation of their families to attend college.
“We want to make sure they know the demands of college-level courses and can meet those demands when school starts,” said Tarah Sweeting-Trotter, a UIS academic adviser and coordinator of the two-week Summer Bridge program.
