EAST LANSING, Mich.— Indiana Women's Soccer clinched a spot in the Big Ten Tournament with their 1-0 victory on the road at Michigan State Wednesday afternoon. Freshman Avery Lockwood netted the game winner in the 74th minute.
KEY MOMENTS
• Michigan State saw the first shot of the match in the 11th minute but Bethany Kopel was able to get in front of it for her first save of the afternoon.
• Oliwia Wos had the first opportunity for the Hoosiers. She couldn't find the back of the net in the 20th minute as her shot sailed out play top left.
• Moments later Melanie Forbes squared up a shot on target but the Spartans goalkeeper was there for the save in the 24th minute.
• A shot by Hanna Nemeth ended the first half but she couldn't get the shot on frame. The match remained scoreless at the halftime break.
• Wos took the first shot by either team of the second half in the 49th minute of action. Her shot didn't make it on target as it went out top left.
• In the 74th minute, Avery Lockwood netted the game-winning goal off a corner kick from Meghan Scott.
• The Spartans attempted the equalizer in the 85th minute as an IU defender was able to step in front of it for the block.
NOTABLES
• The Hoosiers improved to 8-8-2 overall and 4-5-2 in the Big Ten.
• Indiana posted their ninth overall shutout and sixth Big Ten shutout of the season. With the shutout, the Hoosiers have set a new program record in Big Ten Shutouts. The previous record was five which was set in 1999. The nine shutouts this season is tied for most in program history.
• With the victory, Indiana Women's Soccer clinched a spot in the Big Ten Tournament for the first time since 2016. This is also only the third in 12 years that the Hoosiers have earned a spot in the Big Ten Tournament.
• Wednesday's match was the last regular season game for the Hoosiers in 2019.
• Freshman Avery Lockwood led the Hoosiers with a goal and three shots. Indiana out shot the Spartans 11-6. Indiana also had the edge in shot on goal with four compared to their one.
• Bethany Kopel had one save on the afternoon. That now brings her career total to 239 saves.
HEAD COACH ERWIN VAN BENNEKOM
"The team deserves this and I'm so happy for them. They have worked so hard all season to get better each day and this is a great reward. We were voted 12th in the preseason poll and to be in 7th place at the end and qualify for the B1G tournament (only 3rd time in 12 years) is a very good achievement. Besides all of that I'm very happy as this season has set a standard for the future of the program. We are looking forward to start preparing for the B1G quarter final."
UP NEXT
The Hoosiers will await their Big Ten Tournament seeding. A full bracket will be announced once all of Wednesday's matches have concluded.
