The University of Illinois Springfield women's soccer team has four games remaining in its regular season, including two at home this week. The Prairie Stars will take on Southwest Baptist on Friday, followed by a Sunday game against Rockhurst.
 
The Prairie Stars have a lot riding in their final four games, which they will enter with a 6-4-2 overall record and a 4-4-1 conference mark. UIS is currently hanging on to the final spot in the conference tournament, but four teams are right behind trying to jump into that position.
 
Last week, UIS had two road contests. The Prairie Stars tied William Jewell by a 2-2 score, and they fell to Truman State by a 2-1 margin.
 
Lauren Griffin had a pair of assists in the William Jewell contest, becoming the school's all-time assists leader. She now has 11 in her career, including three in the last three contests.
 
UIS is currently 3-1-0 on the year while playing in Springfield, Ill. The Prairie Stars have allowed just three goals in those four games.
 
Sierra Cenek is one of the hottest players in the GLVC. She has scored in each of her last three contests. Cenek is third in the GLVC with seven goals, which is the fifth-most in a season in UIS history. Allison Mirimanian is fourth in the league this week with nearly five saves per game in goal.

Each individual GLVC school will determine their own attendance policy for women's soccer. Please check the policies of the home teams if interested in attending a contest. (UIS)
