Despite the result, the Flames (5-9-2, 4-2-2 MVC) keep their hold on second place in the conference standings with two games remaining in their regular season.Sophomore forward Camryn Ries (Waukesha, Wis./Waukesha West) had a dangerous shot on goal from the left wing in the 76th minute during a windy, physical contest that saw both sides whistled for 14 fouls and combining for three yellow cards (two by Drake). Graduate student goalkeeper Francesca Faraci (Park Ridge, Ill./Maine South/Florida) made four saves, all in the first half including back-to-back diving stops, to keep UIC firmly in contention.The full box score and play-by-play recap from Thursday's game at Drake can be found here."Road games in the MVC are always a battle and we were challenged today," said UIC head coach David Nikolic. "I felt that we organized ourselves well in the first half and created opportunities off of mistakes, but couldn't finish the final action. We have been dominant in creating set pieces in past games and today, we lacked an ability to create those."SOCIAL MEDIA HIGHLIGHTS<blockquote class="twitter-tweet">30' Big save by Faraci, climbing the ladder to tip a long-distance shot over the bar! ?? <a href="https://t.co/ORMyaPVRMT">https://t.co/ORMyaPVRMT</a> ?? <a href="https://t.co/bOphALKo5D">https://t.co/bOphALKo5D</a><a href="https://twitter.com/hashtag/ChicagosCollegeTeam?src=hash&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">#ChicagosCollegeTeam</a><a href="https://t.co/Tn2lIKH9c7">pic.twitter.com/Tn2lIKH9c7</a>— UIC Women's Soccer (@UIC_WSOC) <a href="https://twitter.com/UIC_WSOC/status/1846998962303103424?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">October 17, 2024</a><input type="image" src="empty.gif" style="opacity:0" onerror="s=document.createElement(&quot;script&quot;);s.src=&quot;https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js&quot;;document.body.appendChild(s);"></blockquote><blockquote class="twitter-tweet">Another ?? at the 2nd of 2 diving saves by Faraci! ????
