Suran Yoo controls the ball in Judah Christian territory during Uni's 7-0 victory against the visiting Tribe on Saturday, May 3. Yoo was one of four seniors to score a goal in the Illineks' final regular-season home game of 2008. Zoë Schein led the way with two goals — the first goals of her Uni career. Shara Esbenshade and Chelsea Freeland also scored, along with sophomore Erika Belmont and junior Joy Shapley. After the game, team members and fans gathered around for a Senior Day celebration in which teammates read tributes to the 10 Illinek seniors: Yoo, Schein, Esbenshade, Freeland, Sarah Pfander, Jessica Stark, Emily Chu, Marika Iyer, Beth Peregrine, and Larissa Pittenger. Head coach Phil Anders presented each of the seniors with flowers. Uni is now 9-4-2 overall, 3-0 in the East Central Illinois Conference. The Illineks, seeded No. 4 in their Class A sectional, will visit No. 3 seed Decatur Lutheran on Monday, May 5, to play for the ECIC title.
