The Murray State women's soccer team is set to take on the No. 4 seed UIC Flames at Flames Field in Chicago, Illinois on Sunday, October 29.

The Racers fell to the Flames, 1-0, in the regular season at UIC's home pitch in late September.

The Racers continue their pursuit for a conference tournament title after notching a first-round 1-0 win over Evansville on Thursday. Mary Hardy scored the game-winner in the first minute to propel MSU to advancing to the next round of the MVC tournament.

Keeper Griselda Revolorio notched her fifth clean sheet of the season in the shutout over the Purple Aces, and still holds the second-highest save percentage (0.862) and second-lowest goals against average (0.67) in the league.

Senior defender Audrey Henry has yet to be subbed off the pitch this season, racking up 1,710 minutes played this season. Freshman Hannah Carter and junior Morgan Bodker each played at least 1,600 minutes.

Scouting Report
The Flames received a first-round bye after ending the regular season with a 1-0 victory over Valparaiso. UIC enters the match with a three-match unbeaten streak and just one loss in their last five matches played.

Sophia Jaime is the Flames' leading scorer with four goals this year. Nine players on UIC's roster have scored at least one goal thus far. Jaime is also the team leader in points (12), shots (32) and shots on goal (21). She also has four assists this season, which is tied for the seventh-most in The Valley.

The Flames have scored 17 goals this season while conceding 15. They have been even in scoring with opponents in the first half with nine goals scored and nine conceded in the first 45 minutes of their matches. Yet, they outscored opponents 8-6 in the second half of play.
