University of Illinois Chicago Women's Soccer
Soccer · Women · 26 players
Recruits mostly from USA, Canada · 4% international · 5 transfers · 11 projected open spots
Spots likely to open next season
11roster spots projected to open up
Scholarships here are usually split across the roster, so an opening is a roster spot, not always a full ride.
Which positions open is part of Recruit, so you can pitch where the spot actually is.
Players leave from every class, not only the last one: a soccer team takes about 12 new players a year. We count each player with the share of their class that was gone a season later at programs like this one. 8 are in their final listed year. From 2027 this division gives every athlete five seasons, so we use the years when an extra season was open to everyone.
We checked this forecast against 1,449 past seasons it had not seen. In 54 of 100 cases it was within 3 players of the number that really joined.
