UIS Softball Falls Just Short in 9-7, 7-6 Losses on Friday
The UIS softball team fought hard in two tightly contested matchups on Friday but came up just short, falling 9-7 to Central Missouri and 7-6 to Northwest Missouri State. Despite strong offensive efforts and late-inning pushes, the Prairie Stars were unable to complete their comebacks in the opening day of the Alvy Early Memorial Classic.
Prairie Stars’ Rally Falls Short in 79-75 Loss to McKendree
Despite a career night from Jack Weber and a strong second-half push, the Illinois Springfield men's basketball team couldn't complete the comeback, falling 79-75 to McKendree on Thursday night at TRAC. The Bearcats improved to 11-10 (8-6 GLVC), while UIS dropped to 10-12 (5-9 GLVC).
"The difference in the game was perimeter shooting," said Coach Brock. "They started hot from three and seemed to hit a dagger every time we got in striking distance. They did a great job of limiting our shooters."
