DID YOU KNOW?
 Three of Indiana's four goals this season have come in the first half.
 After not scoring in his first two seasons at IU, senior defender Patrick Doody has three goals in the last two seasons.
 Thirteen of the 32 players on the roster hail from the state of Indiana.
 Eight of Indiana's regular-season opponents were ranked in the NSCAA preseason top 25 (No. 1 Notre Dame, No. 2 Maryland, No. 9 Georgetown, No. 10 Michigan State, No. 12 Marquette, No. 14 Louisville, No. 15 Penn State, No. 21 Wisconsin).
 Freshman Michael Riedford was named 2013-14 Gatorade Indiana Boys Soccer Player of the Year. That makes six-straight Indiana players of the year that have donned the Cream and Crimson (2013-Michael Galullo; 2012-Femi Hollinger-Janzen; 2011-Eriq Zavaleta; 2010-A.J. Corrado; 2009-Harrison Petts).
 Sophomore Tanner Thompson is a legacy at Indiana. His father Gregg scored both goals in IU's 2-1 win over Duke for the first national title in 1982. His cousin Bobby de St. Aubin played at IU from 2000-01, and his younger brother Tommy played at IU for the 2013 season.
 Four players on the Indiana roster have spent time at other schools. Senior Jamie Vollmer spent one season at Butler before transferring to IU. Juniors Matt Foldesy and Phil Fives are in their first year in Bloomington after two seasons at Akron. Junior Will Lukowski spent his freshman and sophomore seasons at Iowa Western Community College.
 Head coach Todd Yeagley, associate head coach Brian Maisonneuve, and assistant coach Kevin Robson all played collegiately at Indiana.

CAUGHT IN HIS WEBB
 Sophomore Colin Webb is back in goal for the Hoosiers after taking over the starting role toward the end of the 2013 season.
 Webb is already off to a strong start in 2014, picking up his first shutout in a 1-0 win over No. 12 Marquette. For his play vs. the Golden Eagles and also in a 1-1 tie with No. 9 Georgetown, Webb was named to the adidas/IU Credit Union Classic All-Tournament team.
 He posted back-to-back shutouts in 1-0 wins over Kentucky and Dartmouth at the Mike Berticelli Memorial Tournament.
 Webb also picked up back-to-back Big Ten Defensive Player of the Week honors on September 2 and 9.
 So far this season Webb has 12 saves and allowed just two goals in 457:59 minutes of actio for a 0.39 GAA.
 As a true freshman Webb started all three matches in goal in the Big Ten Tournament, leading IU to wins over Michigan, Penn State and Michigan State en route to the program's 12th Big Ten title.
 Webb finished with three shutouts and 29 saves in 578 minutes of action last fall, posting a record of 3-2-1.

CAN YOU SCORE?
 Indiana is looking for new avenues for goal-scoring production as just 15 of its 36 goals scored last season return (42 percent).
 Junior Femi Hollinger-Janzen is the top returning scorer with five goals in 2013. Next on the list is junior Andrew Oliver, who contributed three.
 Sophomore Tanner Thompson is the top returning assist man with four, to go along with one goal scored.
 Three of Indiana's 15 retuning goals come from the defensive end with two from senior Patrick Doody and one from senior midfielder Dylan Lax.
 So far this year Hollinger-Janzen, Doody, Trevor Swartz and Michael Riedford have found the back of the net.
 Thompson leads the way with two assists.

LEADING THE SHIP
 Senior Patrick Doody has been named team captain for the 2014 season.
 Doody has appeared in 66 career matches, making 47 starts. He scored his first career goals in 2013 (2) and has seven assists in his career.
 His third career goal was the game winner in a 1-0 win over Dartmouth.
 Seniors Dylan Lax, Kerel Bradford and Jamie Vollmer will also rotate as game captains throughout the season.
