Indiana Lands a Pair on TDS Weekly Team
11/19/2019 9:00:00 AM | Men's Soccer
BLOOMINGTON, Ind. – Indiana men's soccer sophomore Jack Maher was selected to the Top Drawer Soccer team after leading the Indiana defense to a couple of Big Ten Tournament shutouts.
The honor is the third of his season for the Hoosiers after he was also named to the team on Oct. 15 and Nov. 5.
Maher held down a backline that shutdown the offenses of both No. 22 Maryland and Michigan in the Big Ten Tournament semifinals and championship game, respectively. The two clean sheets allowed the Hoosiers to claim the Big Ten Tournament title for the 14th time in program history. The hardware came two weeks after Indiana secured the regular season crown to give the program the 10th Big Ten double is school history.
The Big Ten Defensive Player of the Year slotted home a penalty kick in the 103rd minute in the semifinal match against the Terrapins to send Indiana into the title game. The Golden Goal marked the third match-winning tally of the season for Maher.
Freshman Aidan Morris was named an honorable mention selection to the team. He has twice (Oct. 8, Oct. 29) been named to the TDS Team of the Week. Morris registered four shot attempts during the week, with one coming on frame.
The No. 8-ranked Hoosiers will be in action at noon ET on Nov. 24 at Armstrong Stadium in the second round of the 2019 NCAA Tournament. Indiana will square off against the winner of the first-round matchup between Kentucky and Loyola Chicago.
