MILWAUKEE – Due to anticipated inclement weather later in the day, Saturday's Milwaukee men's soccer match at Northern Illinois has been moved up to a 4 p.m. kickoff.
The Panthers and Huskies will now meet Saturday, Sept. 19, at 4 p.m. at the NIU Soccer and Track & Field Complex in DeKalb, Ill., to match up for the annual battle for the "LeWang Cup".
It will mark the 52nd showdown between the regional foes and former Midwestern Collegiate Conference rivals. The winner of the match claims the John LeWang Cup, which is named after the former NIU coach who was killed in a car accident prior to the 1981 season. LeWang came to NIU as head coach in 1980 following his time as an assistant at Milwaukee and died in a car accident after his first season leading the Huskies. Since 1981, the two teams have played for the trophy named in his honor.
The match was originally scheduled for a 7 p.m. start.
