WIU soccer team advances to NCAA tournament

I'm almost as much of a college soccer fan as I am a college football fan. So it pleases me to say that the Western Illinois soccer team is going to the NCAA tournament for the 3rd straight year. They will play the University of Illinois-Chicago on Friday. WIU is 15-7-0 and is 2nd in the nation in goals scored at 50 (Winthrop has 51). UIC is 12-2-5 and has the 2nd best goals against average in the country. The strength of the UIC defense is going to be tough to beat, but maybe they can pull it off. The winner advances to meet #12 seed Notre Dame next week. Go Leathernecks!
