Olympic Sports: women's soccer had a slip (or two) and the others had a rough week. Read on.
Women's Soccer
Two losses and the polls make you pay the price. After opening the season 8-0 and not allowing a goal, the Knights went on the road in conference play, allowed three goals, and saw their rankings drop. After a scoreless first half, the Illini scored two goals, sandwiched around a Cassie Inacio goal, leaving RU on the short end of the score. Goalie Casey Murphy had four saves.
The pain continued on Sunday as the Knights dropped a 1-0 score to Northwestern (9-1-2, 3-0-1 Big Ten).
