After dropping their next four games, the Blue Demons took on Eastern Illinois University at home on Oct. 18 and were victorious 3-0 in front of a packed crowd full of fans and DePaul soccer alumni.

The team lost their next couple games before winning three in a row against Villanova University, Seton Hall University and the University of Connecticut.

The team lost their next couple games before returning to Wish Field for their final two home games of the season. The Blue Demons defeated Creighton University 2-0 on Oct. 21 but fell to Providence University 1-0 after 110 minutes in the rain and cold.
