EVANSTON, Ill. – Northwestern men's soccer continues its season-opening rivalry tour of the Chicago programs when it faces UIC Monday night. Kickoff is set fpr 7 p.m. CT at Flames Field and will be streamed on ESPN+.

The Wildcats are looking for their first win of the season after falling 2-1 in their opener on Thursday at Chicago State. Sophomore midfielder Rom Brown scored the lone goal on a corner kick, with the assist from Vicente Castro.

The Flames are also looking for their first win of the season after dropping a 3-1 decision at No. 22 Grand Canyon on Thursday.

Monday night's match will be the first full-capacity contest for the Flames at their home stadium since 2019. The Flames had won 22 straight matches at home before ending their season with two losses to Northern Kentucky and Milwaukee.

Northwestern won the last matchup between the two programs, a 2-1 overtime win at Martin Stadium in 2019. Junior forward Jose del Valle scored the golden goal in the 97th minute, and seven other 'Cats on this year's team saw action in the contest.

The home team has won the last three matchups in the series, and the last time Northwestern took two in a row from their Horizon League rivals was in 2004 and 2005.
