MACOMB, Ill.- University of Southern Indiana Men's Soccer recorded its first road result of the season with a 1-1 draw against Western Illinois University in Macomb, Illinois, on Thursday afternoon.
 
The Screaming Eagles extended their unbeaten streak to five games, which ties the longest since the 2019 season. Over the streak, the team has tallied 11 goals, the most in any five-game stretch since returning to Division I.
 
The Leathernecks came out of the gate hot. They snuck one into the Eagles' goal less than two minutes into the match. Following the first goal, the two teams battled defensively and held each other scoreless for the rest of the first 45.
 
At halftime, USI trailed Western Illinois 1-0. The Eagles recorded three shots, all on goal. Sophomore David Davila, along with freshman duo Edin Cvorovic and Joaquin d'Escoto, tallied the team's shots on goal, but the Leathernecks' goalkeeper stopped each.
 
USI came out of the break firing, tying the game in the 58th minute as Cvorovic found Davila in the box for the team's first goal. The Eagles' defense stifled the Leathernecks for the entire second half, limiting them to five shots with three on goal.
 
In the match, USI was outshot 10-8 and 6-5 on goal, while also trailing in corners 7-6. Corovic's assist to Davila was the only one in the match. Between the posts, freshman Jacob English nabbed a game-high five saves, while only allowing a single goal.
 
The Eagles continue their road trip in Charleston, Illinois, on Sunday with a matchup against Eastern Illinois University. The team then returns to Strassweg Field on October 25 for Senior Day, when the team hosts OVC-leading Lindenwood University.
