If RU women's soccer had only preserved its lead at IU, they'd be in second place in the B1G. If they had done that and defeated Illinois, they'd be in first place, alone. Two real missed opportunities there against the bottom half of the league. Hopefully, they will get it done against PSU, which is currently alone in first.
