Illinois Olympic Sports Update (September 5 - September 11)

Soccer (3-5 overall, 0-0 Big Ten)

The Fighting Illini soccer team had a rough go in the Sooner State this past week. Illinois went scoreless for only the second time this season when they took on No. 18 Oklahoma State on September 8th. The Cowgirls went up early, finding the back of the net twice in the first half. Illinois was outshot 22-12, and the Cowgirls cruised to an easy victory.

Two days later Illinois took on Oklahoma where, once again, it fell behind early after the Sooners scored in the 24th minute. Fighting Illini Junior Katie Murray, scored her first goal of the season in the second half to tie the game.
