BLOOMINGTON, Ind. - The No. 4 Indiana men's soccer team (8-1-3, 4-0-0 Big Ten) outlasted the Michigan Wolverines (6-3-3, 2-1-2 Big Ten) for a 1-0 victory at Jerry Yeagley Field at Bill Armstrong Stadium on Sunday afternoon.

Indiana University President Michael A. McRobbie and his wife, Laurie Burns McRobbie, attended the match as art of the Bicentennial celebration.

KEY MOMENTS
• The first real chance for either team came from the Wolverines in the 30th minute of action. Michigan earned a corner kick and had three shots from inside the six-yard box, all blocked by Hoosier defenders to avoid any harm.
• Indiana struck for the only goal of the match on a counterattack in the 67th minute. Redshirt junior Spencer Glass played a beautiful strike off his left foot from 13 yards out that snuck beyond the keeper and into the back of the net. The game-winning tally from Glass was his second of the season and the eighth of his career.
• Indiana looked to put the match out of reach in the 77th minute when redshirt junior A.J. Palazzolo put a header on frame, but the effort was saved by Michigan senior keeper Andrew Verdi.
• The Wolverines would not surrender quietly and found two high-quality chances in the final 10 minutes of play. The first opportunity came in the 82nd minute, but the UM shot was blocked away by the Indiana defense.
• The final push came in the 87th minute, but freshman goalkeeper Roman Celentano was up to the task and shut the door on the Wolverines to preserve the shutout victory.

NOTABLES
• Celentano posted his second-straight scoreless match. He is the first freshman keeper since Trey Muse recorded four-straight shutouts from Nov. 6-19, 2017 to register consecutive clean sheets.
• Indiana is undefeated in the team's last 32 regular-season, Big Ten conference matches, posting a record of 23-0-9. IU's last league loss in the regular season came on Oct. 10, 2015 in overtime at Ohio State, 1-0.
• IU is unbeaten in the last eight contests with Michigan dating back to an Oct. 23, 2013 loss in Ann Arbor, Mich. The Hoosiers are 7-0-1 against the Wolverines since and have outscored the Big Ten rival by a tally of 14-3 during that stretch. In total, Indiana holds a series lead of 22-3-2 against Michigan and is 8-2-2 at home.
• The result leaves the Hoosiers unbeaten in the last 33 home matches played at Jerry Yeagley Field. The undefeated streak dates back to a 2-1 loss to No. 20 Virginia Tech in overtime on Nov. 27, 2016.

HOOSIER POINTS
GOALS: Spencer Glass (67')
