The 2007 Illineks opened their season today in a familiar way: by winning the Uni High Soccer Shoot Out. It's the seventh time in as many years that the hosts have won the tournament. The Illineks sealed the title by tying Fisher 1-1 in the final game of the day at the DCR Soccer Complex. With 3 minutes left in the first half, sophomore Eddie Diazmunoz scored Uni's only goal.

Forward Eddie Diazmunoz, playing in his first varsity season, gave the Illineks the only goal they needed as they won their second game of the 2007 Soccer Shoot Out, defeating Blue Ridge 1-0 this afternoon. Uni is one victory away from winning its seventh consecutive Shoot Out championship. The Illineks will play Fisher at 4:15 p.m.

Students packed into Uni Gymnasium on Wednesday, Aug. 22, for Uni's annual morning assembly welcoming students to the new school year. Assistant Director Sue Kovacs introduced the new faculty for the 2007-08 school year, interim Director/Principal Steve Epperson addressed the crowd, and Student Council president Micah Berman and his fellow officers Shara Esbenshade and Suran Yoo pumped up the students before everyone returned to Uni to begin classes.

The Uni boys soccer team opened the 2007 season with a 5-1 victory over the Oakwood Comets Saturday morning at the DCR Soccer Complex. The Illineks will play two more games today: at 11:45 a.m. against Blue Ridge and 4:15 p.m. against Fisher. Uni is aiming for its seventh consecutive Soccer Shoot Out title.
