CHICAGO – After its setback against Creighton over the weekend, DePaul women's soccer remains in Chicago to face UConn on Wednesday, Oct. 22, at Wish Field. Kickoff is set for 3 p.m. CT on Marquee Sports Network, with Alex Cohen and Brea Lassek on the call.
Led by Sienna Gonzales' goals in consecutive matches, DePaul (4-10-1, 1-5-1 BIG EAST) enters the midweek contest after earning a 2-1 road win at Seton Hall before falling to Creighton on Saturday.
