Screaming Eagles hope to continue winnings ways
EVANSVILLE, Ind. – The University of Southern Indiana women's soccer team has won two in a row and hopes to continue the trend when it goes on the road for a pair of GLVC matches. The Screaming Eagles start the road trip at Quincy University Friday at 5 p.m.
USI (3-4-0, 2-2-0 GLVC) concludes the road trip against #17 Southern Illinois University Edwardsville Sunday at noon. The match has been moved to Washington University's Francis Field in St. Louis, Missouri, due to surface problems with SIUE's Bob Guelker Field.
