BLOOMINGTON, Ind. – The Indiana women's soccer team (2-5-6, 0-5-1) will travel to East Lansing on Oct. 13 for a match against No. 15 Michigan State (10-1-3, 5-0-1) under the lights at DeMartin Stadium at 7:00 p.m. ET.
The match will be broadcasted on BTN+ with Veronica Bolanos (PxP) and Miriam Bingham (Analyst) on the call with Marin Klein reporting from the sideline.
ABOUT THE SPARTANS
• Michigan State is coming off a 2-0 win over Michigan on Sunday, Oct. 9. Sophomore forward Jordyn Wickes scored the game-winner in the 40th minute while senior forward Lauren DeBeau netted another one in the 65th minute to secure the win.
• After the win over the Wolverines, the Spartans received their first national ranking since 2009 and secured their fifth consecutive conference win.
• MSU is led by head coach Jeff Hosler who is in his second season at the helm. In 2021, Hosler led the program to a 10-4-3 record, making the Big Ten Tournament for the first time since 2011.
• Lauren DeBeau leads the team's offense with eight goals, two assists and 18 points featuring three game-winning goals.
• Goalkeeper Lauren Kozal has totaled 39 saves (.867 save percentage) and faced six goals (.46 goals against average). She is 10-1-3 on the season and has totaled seven shutouts.
SERIES HISTORY
• Michigan State leads the series 19-8-2.
• In the last matchup, the Hoosiers fell 1-0 against the Spartans at home on Sept. 19, 2021. Indiana could not clear the ball before MSU's Camryn Evans found the back of the net in the 16th minute.
LAST TIME OUT
• After a scoreless first half and pressure from the Indiana defense, both teams were eager to take the lead.
• Indiana saw their first real dangerous opportunity after junior forward Anna Bennett sent a cross to an open area in the box, but it was hovered on by the goalkeeper before Jen Blitchok could make the contact.
• Rutgers jumped ahead in the 61st minute on a penalty kick that was awarded after Indiana committed a foul in the box.
• Redshirt-freshman midfielder Ava Akeel nearly found the equalizer in the 78th minute of the match on a downward header from sophomore forward Jordyn Levy. She sent it right in the center of the box at the foot of Akeel but couldn't get it past the diving goalkeeper.
INDIANA DEFENSE
• The Hoosiers have shutout eight consecutive opponents, extending their scoreless streak to a total of 720 minutes this season, tying the program record for longest consecutive scoreless streak that was set in the 1993 inaugural season.
HOOSIER GOALS
• Anna Bennett, Paige Webber, Jen Blitchok - vs. Indiana State on Sept. 1.
• Natasha Kim, Jordyn Levy (2), Ava Akeel (2) - vs. Trine on Sept. 14.
RANKED OPPONENTS
• Indiana has seven teams that are ranked second edition of the United Soccer Coaches rankings, highlighted by a couple of top-20 Big Ten opponents in No. 6 Northwestern, No. 10 Rutgers and No. 15 Michigan State, and No. 25 Penn State.
• In the non-conference slate, Indiana had a contest against No. 12 Notre Dame canceled and a 0-0 draw against No. 17 West Virginia. The Hoosiers also played No. 8 Penn State to a 0-0 draw in their conference opener.
• Since rankings were tracked during the 2001 season, Indiana has not played more than five ranked opponents in a single season. The Hoosiers took on five ranked foes in 2007, 2009 and 2015.
• The Hoosiers last toppled a ranked opponent on Sept. 8, 2017, with a 1-0 triumph over No. 23 SMU in Dallas, but did earn a result after a 0-0 draw against No. 7 Michigan on Oct. 3, 2021, and against No. 8 Penn State on Sept. 18, 2022.
