ON TARGET • After a slow start the IU offense has been clicking over the last four matches.
• 10 of the Hoosiers' 14 goals this year have come in the last four games vs. Rutgers (2), UCF (4), Northwestern (1) and Saint Louis (3). • Indiana has tallied 59 shots in the three games, with 30 on frame (51 percent; 9/17 vs. Rutgers; 6/12 vs. UCF; 9/19 vs. Northwestern; 6/11 vs. Saint Louis).
• Prior to the four matches, just 23 of 88 attempts (26.1 percent) had been on frame. • Tanner Thompson has a team-best three goals, with all three coming in the last four games.
OFFENSIVE DEFENDERS
• Indiana has gotten a nice offensive lift from its back four in 2014. • Left back Patrick Doody is tied for second in goals scored (2) and total points (6).
• Both of Doody's goals have been game winners this year, in a 1-0 win over Dartmouth and a 4-2 victory over UCF. • He also has a pair of assists, assisting on Jamie Vollmer's game-winning goal vs. No. 8 Saint Louis.
• Freshman centerback Grant Lillard got in on the scoring with his first career goal coming vs. UCF on September 24. • It was right back Billy McConnell that set up the score as he whipped the ball into the box, where the 6-4 Lillard headed it home. McConnell picked up his second assist of the year on Matt Foldesy's score in the win over SLU.
SPREADING THE WEALTH
• The Indiana coaching staff preached before the start of the season that goal scoring would be by committee, and that is just what has happened in 2014. • The Hoosiers are second in the Big Ten in goals scored with 14, with eight different players accounting for the 14 tallies.
• Tanner Thompson leads the way with three scores, while Jamie Vollmer, Patrick Doody, Femi Hollinger-Janzen and Trevor Swartz have come up with two each. • Five different players have double digits in the shot tally, led by 32 from Thompson.
EARLY BIRDS
• Indiana is wasting no time scoring in matches this year as 10 of its 14 goals have com in the first half. • Twice this season IU has scored with less than three minutes gone in a game, with Patrick Doody's goal vs. Dartmouth coming at 2:19, and Jamie Vollmer's score against UCF coming at 2:41.
• In fact, seven of IU's 14 scores have come with less than 26 minutes elapsed in the game.
OT...EH... • While Indiana has yet to find the back of the net in overtime matches, going 0-0-3 this season, the extra sessions have not been as unkind to the Hoosiers as they were in 2013.
• Last year IU saw eight of its matches go to overtime, going 1-5-2 in those games. • The Hoosiers' only extra time victory of the season came in the 2013 Big Ten Tournament, a 2-1 victory over Michigan.
• However, two of its three OT ties this season have come in games where Indiana held a 1-0 lead (Georgetown, Northwestern).
SNAKEBIT? • Junior forward Andrew Oliver has been oh-so-close on several occasions this season but 10 games in is still looking for his first goal of the year.
• The September 28 Northwestern was no different has he was looking at a goal several times and came up just short. • The first opportunity he did put away a rebound of a shot from Tanner Thompson, but was judged to have been offside by the assistant referee.
• In the second half he was making his way to goal with the ball, but a Northwestern defender tripped him up in the box. No penalty call was made. • Just seconds into the first overtime period Oliver broke free with the ball and had a 1v1 opportunity with NU goalkeeper Tyler Miller, but Miller was able to come out and cover the ball just a second before Oliver could get a foot on it.
• Oliver is fourth on the team in shot attempts with 16, but just four have been on frame.
LEANING ON THE FRESHMEN • Indiana has seen good returns from its freshman class in 2014, with the newcomers stepping up both offensively and defensively.
• Freshman midfielder/defender Trevor Swartz is tied for second on the team lead in goals scored with two. Swartz scored the game winner in IU's 1-0 win over Kentucky, and added his second in a 4-2 victory over UCF. • Freshman midfielder Michael Riedford was the one who put home the game winner in IU's 1-0 triumph over Marquette.
• Freshman defender Grant Lillard added his name to the list vs. UCF with his first collegiate goal. Lillard has started all 10 matches and played a key role in the Hoosiers' four shutouts this season. • Freshman Jack Griffith and redshirt freshman Brad Shaw have also seen significant minutes this fall.
NCAA RPI
• The NCAA released its first set of RPI numbers on September 29 and the Hoosiers sit at No. 11 overall and tops in the Big Ten. • Other Big Ten rankings include No. 14 Michigan State, No. 15 Penn State, No. 28 Northwestern, No. 34 Ohio State, No. 65 Rutgers, No. 83 maryland, No. 113 Michigan and No. 120 Wisconsin.
