University of Illinois forfeits game to University of Dayton

Illinois are forfeiting their 2-1 victory on September 27th. over Dayton because they had a player participate illegally in the match.

Illini forward Tara Schuling, who collected an assist in the UD win, had only served one match of her mandatory two-match suspension for receiving her second red card of the season.

Schuling received her second red card in 2002 in the match against Michigan State on September 20 th. NCAA rules mandate that a player must sit out the team's next two matches after the second red card. Schuling sat out Illinois' match against Michigan on September 22, but failed to sit out versus Dayton.

NCAA Soccer Rule 12-18a states that when a suspended player or coach participates in a match, that match will be forfeited to the opposing team.

All statistics from the match will still count towards both teams, and Schuling will still receive credit for her assist. But the University of Dayton's record will now go to 13-2-0.
