The University of Illinois Springfield men's soccer team ended its 2021 spring season on Monday night with a loss in the first round of the GLVC Tournament. The Prairie Stars lost to the fourth-ranked team in NCAA Division II, Indianapolis, by a 1-0 score.
 
The matchup featured the top two defenses in the GLVC, and the game lived up to that billing. The difference in the game was just one turnover in the first minute of the second half. UIS lost the ball on its side of the field, and the Greyhounds were able to thread a perfect pass to an attacker streaking up the middle. The Indianapolis player collected the pass and scored in the left corner of the goal for the game's only goal.
 
After outshooting UIS by a 30-3 margin in their regular season meeting, Indianapolis had just an 11-7 edge in shots this time. The Greyhounds had four shots on goal, compared to two for the Prairie Stars. UIS had a 5-3 advantage in corner kicks.
 
Pijus Petkevicius made three saves in the game. Lars Brinkman had two shots, and Marvin Zott and Darian Turner both put shots on goal. Terence Bynoe, Zott, and Carlos Giron each played all 90 minutes in the field.
 
UIS ends its season with a 4-4-3 overall record.
