UIS (3-6, 1-3 GLVC) dropped a close 68-66 decision to McKendree on Thursday before falling 74-56 to Maryville on Saturday. The Prairie Stars now enter a break from GLVC action and will face several in-region opponents before conference play resumes on Jan. 2.

First up is Roosevelt (1-5, 0-2 GLIAC), which most recently suffered an 83-82 loss to No. 17 Northern Michigan. This will mark the first-ever meeting between UIS and RU in women's basketball, as Roosevelt joined NCAA Division II last year.
