CHICAGO – After a tough UAA loss on Saturday, the University of Chicago women's soccer team welcomed a local foe in Illinois Tech to campus with their sights set on getting back into the win column. It was a tense game throughout but a dominant second half and a two goal performance from one of their veterans gave the Maroons a 3-2 win on Monday afternoon.

RESULT
Illinois Tech – 2
University of Chicago – 3

HOW IT HAPPENED

• Illinois Tech (11-2-1) tried to set the pace early on with a goal in the 5^th minute, and while it took them some time, the University of Chicago (8-2-3) evened things up when Avery Gallucci took advantage of a rebound with the Scarlett Hawks keeper down at 34:11.
• The Maroons took their first lead of the afternoon in the 58^th minute when Hannah Rittenhouse got UChicago's second bounce back tally of the game, but an own goal just moments later evened the match back up again at 2-2.
• Rittenhouse, who was the target of the IIT defense for most of the day, got the last laugh and used a tough angled shot during a breakaway to put the Maroons up for good with just seven minutes left.
• UChicago outshot the Scarlett Hawks 17-9 overall and 9-2 in the second half as they secured the win in their last non-conference game of the year.
