Panther soccer ties Western Illinois on the road

MACOMB, Ill. --- UNI soccer continued its unbeaten start to the 2023 campaign on a blistering hot Thursday evening, securing a scoreless draw with the Western Illinois Leathernecks at Macomb High School.

The Panthers outshot the Leathernecks 9-4 in the contest, but WIU was able to withstand a second-half barrage of Panther scoring opportunities to keep the match scoreless. UNI recorded seven shots and five shots on goal in the second half alone. In goal, Caitlin Richards recorded her second shutout of the season.

"Proud of our effort tonight," said UNI head coach Bruce Erickson.
