The University of Illinois Springfield women’s soccer team is off to a good start with exhibition victories over Heartland Community College and Parkland College.
“We didn’t give up a goal,” UIS coach Pete Kowall said. “We scored three goals in two games so far.”
UIS beat Heartland 2-0 and Parkland 1-0. That’s a positive sign for a team that scored only 21 goals last season.
Kowall has to like his chances of moving the five-year program ahead with 15 returning players from the 2011 team that was 4-10-2 overall and 3-10-2 in the Great Lakes Valley Conference. The Stars’ final record included six one-goal losses.
The team was featured by the State Journal-Register on August 26, 2012.
