Illini Soccer 2025-2026
As a fan of watching soccer, I'm incredibly perturbed to see the clock counting down instead of counting up. Are there different clock rules in college soccer?
It is a stop start system. Each half ends when the clock strikes 0. No stoppage time. Very antiquated.

Yes. I’ve officiated college soccer for a number of years. Official time counts down. Clock stops on goals, injuries, cards, and some subs in the 2nd half.
Officials don’t like it any more than fans do, and it’s always an ask when it comes to rule changes. So far, no luck getting it changed.
Beating Penn State in soccer is a big deal. They are a long time power program in the sport.
Yeah, I hear that, but if it gets flopping late in games cleared up, I'm for it.
Seriously. Do other ADs attend non-revenue sports events genuinely excited? I doubt it...but also, I'm asking because I don't know, and JW just seems like he's the best and one-of-a-kind AD.
3-0 loss to tO$U. Fall to 2 wins, 2 losses and a draw in Big Ten play.
Massive 3 points

If my math is right, that’s 10 points in six conference games (3 wins and a draw).
That’s pretty substantial progress.
Yeah 10 points is good for 6th. One point behind 4th. Home stand against Rutgers and Purdue coming up. Six points would be amazing but need at least 4.

Call it amazing!!!
We are tied for third with a 5-2-1 conference record and 16 points. Only 4 points behind Washington for the lead. We are 12-2-1 overall. We have three road matches left with Northwestern, Michigan and Michigan State. Only MSU has a winning conference record and is only 1 point behind us in the standings. We win out and we have a chance for second place unless Washington loses a couple of matches.
Tough 1-0 loss to Northwestern. Need to gets some points vs Michigan. MSU is going to be a very tough matchup.
5-1 loss at MSU. Must win regular season finale vs Michigan if they want to keep faint NCAA hopes alive.
Izzy Lee did have a ridiculous penalty save and rebound save.

1-1 draw at Michigan to end the regular season. Looks like they will be forced to play in an opening round game on October 30 with a win putting them in a quarterfinal. Also it is so random that the semifinals and final are in St Louis.
