UIS (7-5-3, 5-4-3 GLVC) has already surpassed its win total from 2025 and enters the final stretch of the regular season looking to secure a spot in the GLVC Tournament. The Prairie Stars are coming off a loss and a tie last week and will have home-field advantage against McKendree (13-2-1, 9-2-1 GLVC), which recently played to a 0-0 draw with GLVC No. 1 UMSL. UIS currently sits in position to qualify for the conference tournament but will need to maintain its standing against a strong Bearcats team.

5:30 p.m. — Men's Soccer vs. McKendree
UIS (1-11-3, 1-8-3 GLVC) returns home after a narrow 4-3 loss to Southwest Baptist on Saturday. The Prairie Stars face McKendree (4-7-3, 3-5-3 GLVC) in a matchup between teams separated by little in the conference standings as the season winds down.
