DeKALB – Coming off a difficult 5-0 loss Saturday against Saint Mary’s College – California, the men’s soccer team has a chance to regroup 7 p.m. Tuesday when it faces Eastern Illinois University in front of a home crowd at the Soccer and Track and Field Complex in DeKalb.
Roughly 220 miles and a lot of corn separate DeKalb from Charleston, equating to a 3 hour drive or so for the Panthers. As an in-state opponent, Eastern Illinois will have a slight advantage when it comes to fan support.
The Huskies are currently 2-1-1 at home and have yet to score more than two goals in a home match this season.
