If we lose to 1-5-1 Eastern Illinois I will be really disappointed. Every game this team will be an underdog as there is no scoring punch on the roster.

I am really hoping for wins against Saint Thomas, Lindenwood and Western Illinois.

Hopefully getting that first win will give them a shot of confidence that they CAN win some of these matches.

The first few years we will take our lumps as we adjust, recruit higher level players and work on scheduling some home games with similar teams to USI. As long as we continue to improve and recruit better, we will be like we were in the GLVC within about 4-5 years competing for top 3 spots in many sports. I think we can do it as long as the coaches of all the sports want to get better and put in the effort to get there.

Soccer got worked over by Bellarmine. No shame in that loss as the Knights were considerably better. The goalie made some tough saves or it could have easily been 5-0.

I truly feel sorry for the USI goalie tonight. 13 shots on goal with over 20 minutes left in the match.

This is a program that needs a change at head coach.

Can’t disagree with that. We have been mediocre for years in mens soccer. I would love to see us hire a young assistant from a good mid major team or a D2 coach from a top 10 program. We need a recruiter that can make us competitive in D1.

Bring in new blood that is hungry to move up the ladder.
