BLOOMINGTON, Ind. – Indiana women's soccer battled No. 17 Michigan to a scoreless draw Sunday (Oct. 3) on Jerry Yeagley Field at Bill Armstrong Stadium.
Â
Nothing separated the teams after 90 minutes of regulation, forcing overtime. In the first minute of the opening extra period, the match was sent into a delay due to lightning in the area. During the break, the coaches agreed to end the match in a draw due to unplayable field conditions.
Â
KEY MOMENTS
• Indiana goalkeeper Jamie Gerstenberg had her work cut out for her in the 33rd minute when she had to face back-to-back Wolverine shots from within the box. Gerstenberg was positioned well and kept the match scoreless with a pair of saves.
• IU nearly broke the tie in the 54th minute off the boot of Paige Webber, but the shot was saved by Michigan keeper Hillary Beall going to her right.
• Melanie Forbes had the Hoosiers' best opportunity of the match on a counterattack as she found herself with space coming down the left wing. Her open shot in the box, however, was corralled by Beall.
NOTABLES
• Indiana's record moves to 8-2-3 on the season and 2-2-1 in Big Ten Conference play.
• The Hoosiers held the advantage in shots taken, 16-11.
• IU's Forbes, Jen Blitchok, and Avery Lockwood each attempted three shots in the match. Four of those nine attempts forced a save.
• Indiana's undefeated streak against Michigan improves to five straight matches, and the Hoosiers are 2-0-3 in that span.
UP NEXT
The Hoosiers kick off a three-match Big Ten road swing Friday (Oct. 8) when they head to Evanston, Illinois, to play Northwestern. Start time is set for 8 p.m. ET.
