The Illinois Fighting Illini soccer team took on two Big Ten opponents this past week and dropped both contests to make it an 0-4 start in conference play. In the first game at Illinois Soccer Stadium, Maryland paid a visit and the two teams battled to find the back of the net. The two teams each missed out on several scoring opportunities throughout the game, but Maryland tallied 10 shots on goal compared to Illinois’ five. It wasn’t until the 83rd minute that the game saw its first — and only — goal, thanks to Maryland senior Kate Waters.
