TERRE HAUTE, Ind. – Indiana State returns home on Thursday, September 25, as the Sycamores host UIC at Memorial Stadium. Kickoff is scheduled for 7 p.m. ET, with live coverage on ESPN+ and live stats through GoSycamores.com.
The Sycamores (4-3-4, 0-0-1 MVC) come into this one riding high off a dramatic 3-3 draw at Northern Iowa this past Saturday. ISU found themselves in a 3-1 hole early in the second half but showed grit down the stretch. Tori Angelo got one back in the 85th minute, and just minutes later, Avery Oergel leveled the match at 3-3, assisted by Alex Lehnert. The final stretch saw ISU keeping up relentless pressure, nearly taking the lead in stoppage time.
Across the match, Indiana State outshot UNI 17-15, and goalkeeper Delaney Timmons made four key saves— including a big one in the 89th minute that preserved the tie. The comeback showed the Sycamores' resolve, their ability to fight back when trailing, and their depth of attack.
UIC (4-5-1, 0-1 MVC) enters this matchup looking to rebound. Their last few matches have been a mix of performances, and they'll need sharpness at both ends of the field to take away points on the road. The Flames will likely try to pressure ISU early, disrupt the rhythm, and capitalize on any mistakes.
For the Sycamores, this game presents a chance to build on their comeback mentality. After the fight they showed at UNI, Indiana State will aim to combine that late-game urgency with a full-match performance.
