NORMAL, Ill. – The Illinois State women's soccer program will open its 2025 campaign with its Red & White Scrimmage on Wednesday evening at Adelaide Street Field. Kick-off is slated for 7 p.m.
The Red & White Scrimmage will serve as a preview for head coach Raleigh DeRose's second-year squad before the start of the season.
In 2024, the Redbirds built a solid foundation in DeRose's first year at the helm of the program. Illinois State earned its first trip to the MVC Tournament since 2021 and upset No. 6 seed UNI 1-0 to become the first-ever No.
