Edwardsville High School’s Andrew Mullican is proud to be attending the University of Illinois-Springfield campus on a scholarship to play soccer in the fall.
He said he was looking for a college soccer program where he would fit and he also is intrigued about getting a degree from the University of Illinois.
He said he plans to major in business.
Since grade school, finding a college scholarship was a goal for Mullican, a midfielder.
“It was a goal since eighth grade,” he said. “My mom put a lot of money in private lessons and this is a way to pay it back. This is a big deal to me.”
“I am sure the winning tradition we have here at EHS will help me. We have done some special things in soccer at EHS.”
The EHS soccer player thanked his varsity coach Mark Heiderscheid for his constant support over the years.
Heiderscheid expressed extreme pride in Mullican earning his college scholarship.
“You play the game for love of the game but when you have a player like Andrew that you respect, it is very exciting to see him get a scholarship,” the coach said. “You sort of feel like a parent when they are successful and move on to college.”

Ordinance could bring UIS students downtown
An ordinance being discussed at Tuesday’s committee of the whole meeting could give the University of Illinois Springfield a larger presence downtown.
The ordinance would give TIF assistance to a contractor, taking a vacant parking lot on the corner of East Madison St. and North 4th Street and turning it into an apartment and office building for UIS.
The TIF funding would be about $700,000. The total project expected to cost a hair under $10 million. A majority of the building would house graduate students, increasing the university's presence downtown.
