Blue Demons Return to Wish Field

CHICAGO - DePaul women's soccer makes its return to Lincoln Park on Sunday, Oct. 3, hosting the Villanova Wildcats for a 1 p.m. kickoff. The Blue Demons (3-7, 0-2 BIG EAST) are searching for their first win since a 3-0 rout of Eastern Illinois back on Sept. 18. Sunday's match versus Villanova (6-5, 0-3 BIG EAST) will be broadcast live on the BIG EAST Digital Network on FloSports presented by SoFi.

The Blue Demons' matchup with the Wildcats will be the 18th in the all-time series and both sides will be looking to gain an edge. The all-time series stands at 8-8-1 and the Wildcats claimed the last meeting: a 1-0 win in Chicago back in 2019.
