CHICAGO, Ill. - Coming off a 57-45 win over Valparaiso on Thursday night, the University of Evansville women's basketball team closes its weekend trip up north with a Saturday afternoon matchup with UIC at 2 PM (CT) in Chicago, Ill.
Saturday's matchup will be the 15th all-time meeting between Evansville and UIC, but the first as conference foes, as UE owns a 9-5 advantage in the series. The two sides last met inside Meeks Family Fieldhouse on Dec. 5, 2018 with the Flames capturing a 62-54 win.
UIC enters the weekend with an 8-6 overall mark, while still searching for their first MVC win with an 0-3 record in Valley play. The Flames are coming off a 59-48 loss to Indiana State on Thursday evening. The home side UIC is led by three double-figure scorers in Josie FIler, Jaide McCloud, and Ky Dempsey-Toney, who all average 10-or-more points and over five rebounds per game.
Evansville comes into the weekend finale following a 57-45 win over Valparaiso on Thursday, Evansville's first road win in MVC play since defeating Valpo on the road during the 2020-21 campaign. On Thursday evening, Evansville got a classic performance from senior guard/forward Abby Feit, who tallied 18 points and nine boards in the victory.
