BLOOMINGTON, Ind. – The Indiana women's soccer team (0-0-3) will look for its first victory of the program's 30th season with an in-state matchup against Indiana State (0-2-1) on Sept. 1 at Bill Armstrong Stadium on Jerry Yeagley Field in Bloomington. First kick between the Hoosiers and Sycamores is slated for 8 p.m. ET. The match will serve as senior night and the program will honor Bethany Kopel, Karlee Luker and Megan Wampler.
BTN+ will provide a stream of the match with Samantha Condra (PxP) and Max Parker (Analyst) on the call. Live stats of the match can be tracked on IUHoosiers.com.
ABOUT THE SYCAMORES
• The Indiana State Sycamores, led by head coach Julie Hanley, enter the matchup off a scoreless opening weekend. ISU fell to the SIU Edwardsville (2-1) to open the season before tragedy struck the Sycamore campus. Three students were involved in a fatal one-car accident that led to the postponement of its second match.
• The Sycamores returned to the pitch for a 0-0 draw against Eastern Illinois before falling to Toledo by a final score of 3-0.
• Sophomore forward Mackenzie Kent scored the lone Sycamore of the season in the 2-1 loss to SIU Edwardsville. She has started all three matches and leads the team in shots (6) and shots on goal (2).
• Junior forward Audrey Stephens and senior midfielder CeCe Wahlberg joined Kent as goal scorers in the exhibition matches for ISU. Wahlberg led the Sycamores in scoring 2021 with six goals.
• The Sycamores have split time in goal with junior Maddie Alexander and senior Tara Hoffman, both tallying 135 minutes in net. Hoffman has made 11 saves in two starts (0.846 save percentage), while Alexander has carded seven saves (0.700 save percentage).
SERIES HISTORY
• Indiana has earned victories in each of the four matchups against Indiana State in program history. The two sides last met in a 2-0 shutout victory on Aug. 22, 2014.
• The Hoosiers opened the series with a 3-0 result on Oct. 28, 2001 before topping the Sycamores by a score of 2-1 on Oct. 27, 2002. IU also recorded a 2-1 triumph on Sept. 12, 2012.
• IU holds a record of 14-1-2 all time against teams currently in the Missouri Valley Conference (MVC). The winning percentage (0.882) is the second best against any conference with at least 10 matches played. Indiana is 14-1-0 (0.933) against the Horizon league.
LAST TIME OUT
• Indiana posted a 0-0 draw for the third-straight match to open the 2022 season in the program's home opener against Ball State on Aug. 25.
• This marks the fifth season in program history in which the Hoosiers have held their opponent scoreless in three-straight matches to open the season.
• IU held statistical advantages in shots (12-6), shots on goal (2-1) and corners taken (11-5).
• The match marked the first career start for freshman defender Natasha Kim, while sophomore midfielder Sydney Masur and sophomore forward Jordyn Levy each made their 20th career appearances.
RANKED OPPONENTS
• Indiana is slated to play six teams that are ranked second edition of the United Soccer Coaches rankings, highlighted by a couple of top-10 Big Ten opponents in No. 8 Penn State and No. 9 Rutgers.
• Wisconsin (No. 22) and Michigan (No. 24) each found enough votes to reach top-25 status, while Ohio State is received votes and is sitting just outside the final rankings.
• In the non-conference slate, Indiana will host No. 16 Notre Dame and No. 23 Memphis at Bill Armstrong Stadium. The Hoosiers also played No. 21 West Virginia to a 0-0 draw to open the season.
• 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.
