No. 4 Indiana Blanks IUPUI, 2-0
BLOOMINGTON, Ind. – The No. 4-ranked Indiana University men's soccer team defeated in-state rival IUPUI, 2-0, on Tuesday night at Jerry Yeagley Field at Bill Armstrong Stadium.
With the win, IU improves to 5-0-3 on the season overall, remaining undefeated through the team's first eight matches for the 11th time in program history and for the first since 2011. IUPUI falls to 0-6-0 on the year with the defeat.
IU's Richard Ballard scored his team-leading fourth goal of the season, while Tanner Thompson netted his third of the year for the Hoosiers. Rees Wedderburn and Rece Buckmaster each had assists for IU, while goalkeeper Colin Webb recorded his Big Ten-leading fifth shutout of the season.
The Hoosiers struck first in the 12th minute to take a 1-0 lead over the Jaguars. After a great pass from Wedderburn put Buckmaster in space, the sophomore beat his defender to the end line turned towards goal, feeding Ballard at the top of the six-yard box for the right-footed finish.

Nice bounce back game after NW, where IU dominated but couldn't score. Been a while since we've been scored on.
Yeah the defense is solid, that goal by Maryland should have been saved too. He makes that save 99 outta 100 times. The thing that bothers me is he puts so much emphasis on the defensive side that offensively there's not much there. If IU had less talent it would make more sense to me. This team is very good, but I'm afraid that playing one up top could cost them in the tournament.
