Sept. 18, 2014
SETTING THE SCENE • Indiana is looking for its first Big Ten win of the 2014 season as it faces Rutgers for the first time as a conference opponent.
• Rutgers won its B1G opener with a 3-2 OT win at Wisconsin, while the Hoosiers dropped a 1-0 decision to Penn State. • Indiana and Rutgers meet for the first time since 2011, a 2-0 win over IU in New Jersey.
• The Hoosiers are 3-0 in games played at Rutgers.
NEWS AND NOTES • Wednesday's 0-0 double overtime tie with Butler marked its fourth shutout this season, matching its shutout total for all of 2013.
• The Hoosiers are in need of finding an offensive punch, with no goals scored over the last 287:40 minutes of play. • On the flip side IU has allowed just one goal over the last 522:09 of play.
• Indiana put up 20+ shots for the second-straight match in its 0-0 tie with Butler on Wednesday. • The Hoosiers forced Butler goalkeeper Andy Holte to make five saves in his first appearance of the season, but the most audible gasp from the crowd came with 8:40 left to play in the first overtime.
• A corner kick from Patrick Doody into the mixer was headed on by a Butler player in an attempted clearance. The ball landed at the foot of Derek Creviston, whose shot from about two yards out bounced off the right post. Creviston was just inches away from giving Indiana its first goal since the third minute of the Dartmouth game on September 9. • One of Femi Hollinger-Janzen's five shots on the night came 14 seconds into the second overtime period, as he hit a line drive from distance that was caught by Holte.
• While the first half was a back-and-fourth affair, the final 65 minutes was all Indiana, outshooting the Bulldogs by a 14-4 margin, with five looks on frame. • In the 55th minute Jamie Vollmer had a deflected shot saved by Holte. In the 64th minute, a shot from Thompson was kept out of the net as it was parried by Holte, but it got away from him and Brad Shaw was ready to pounce, sending his shot wide right.
• With seven minutes left in regulation, Thompson crossed a ball into the box that Trevor Swartz was inches from getting a foot on, but it did force Holte off his line as he chased the ball, creating a nervous moment for the Butler faithful in attendance. • The Hoosiers are 1-1-1 against ranked opponents this season.
• A tally of 1,719 fans were at the IU-BU match Wednesday night as the Hoosiers are averaging 3,238 fans per game at home.
SCOUTING THE SCARLET KNIGHTS • Rutgers enters the game at 3-3 overall and is coming off a 3-0 loss to Monmouth at home on Tuesday.
• After opening the season with two victories, RU has dropped three of its last four, with the win a 3-2 OT triumph at Wisconsin. • Jason Wright leads the attack with three goals and one assists, while JP Correa has put up two goals.
• David Greczek has played all 547:16 minutes in goal, allowing 10 scores with 30 saves for a 1.64 GAA. • Six of Rutgers' seven goals have come after halftime.
• Head coach Dan Donigan is in his fifth season at Rutgers. He is assisted by Dave Beck, Bryan Knibbs and Mike Romeo.
SERIES HISTORY • Indiana leads the all-time series with Rutgers 5-1-1.
• The last meeting came in 2011, a 2-0 win for IU on the road. • The Hoosiers defeated the Scarlet Knights by a 3-0 score in 2001 to advance to the quarterfinals.
