NORMAL, Ill. – After a close match against Southern Illinois last Saturday, Illinois State travels to Kanas City, Missouri, to face UMKC for the first time since the 2004-05 season followed by Missouri Valley Conference challenger Wichita State the next day.
"This weekend is going to be a big challenge for the guys as we will face the most recently crowned WAC champions in UMKC," head coach Mark Klysner said. "They are riding on a lot of confidence, but if we play up to our potential, then I think we can earn a nice win against them.
