The University of Illinois Springfield women's soccer team is currently trending towards a GLVC Tournament spot, but needs to continue to collect victories in the second half of its season. The Prairie Stars will have their next shot at three points on Friday when they host Quincy at Kiwanis Stadium.
 
UIS is currently 5-3-1 on the season, and 3-3-0 in conference play. The Prairie Stars are looking to snap a short losing streak of two games, including a 1-0 setback against Lewis on Friday night.
 
Every UIS conference game this year has been decided by just a single goal, and the Prairie Stars have only given up more than one goal in two games in 2021. It is one of eight programs in the GLVC with a GAA under 1.00. Offensively, UIS has scored 12 times in nine games, which ranks sixth in the league.
 
Sierra Cenek currently ranks third in the GLVC with four goals, and is seventh with nine points. Allison Hackett is second on the team with points after recording two goals and two assists. Allison Mirimanian has 47 saves, a .839 save percentage, and a 0.97 GAA this year, all marks in the top-10 in the conference.
 
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)
