Chicago Extends Home Unbeaten Streak with 1-0 Win Over IWU

CHICAGO -- Sophomore midfielder Olivia Ndyabagye (Albuquerque, N.M./ Sandia) scored the only goal of the match in the 10th minute as the 16th-ranked University of Chicago women's soccer team defeated Illinois Wesleyan University 1-0 in non-conference play Saturday at Stagg Field.
