WESTFIELD, Ind. – The No. 7-ranked Indiana Hoosiers improved to 2-0 in the preseason with a 3-2 victory over No. 9 Louisville on Thursday night at Grand Park in Westfield, Ind.
Freshman Griffin Dorsey scored two goals for the Hoosiers, while junior Timmy Mehl netted the match winner for IU. In goal, both Sean Caulfield and Jacob Gruber made a save for Indiana.
In the 10th minute, Dorsey notched his first goal of the preseason, beating the Louisville goalkeeper to the far post for the score from the top-right corner of the 18-yard box. Dorsey was put in to space off a great pass from Gutman, who earned the assist.
After the Cardinals equalized in the 21st minute, the Hoosiers answered back in the 41st. Dorsey was back at it, attacking in the top-right corner. After finding space, the freshman cracked a shot from 15-yards out, beating the UL keeper to give IU a 2-1 lead headed in to halftime.
Louisville struck first in the second half, scoring off a corner kick in the 61st minute to tie the match at 2-2.
Just four minutes later, Mehl hit a wonder-strike from 30 yards out, beating the Cardinals' goalie from the left corner to the far post, retaking the lead for good for IU, 3-2.
